The Winter Blahs

If you dislike winter because you feel depressed and grumpy for the whole time, and wish spring would come, starting in October, you aren't alone and it isn't "just you."

You may have a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder ("SAD") along with an estimated 18 million other Americans. And another 42 million Americans probably are affected negatively by the winter season.

See? You are really not alone.

SAD is a condition that can be managed, and sometimes brought completely under control, by the application of strong lighting.

So this blog is for the "Winter Challenged" community, and we're going to be writing about coping with winter and we are hoping that you will feel easy about telling us your experiences as a member of the Winter Challenged set. By sharing, you'll be helping.
