Seasonal Depression

jrc · 12-22-2014, 03:30 PM

I'm not going to debate whether winter weather cause clinical depression or not, but I know I don't like it.

From Columbus day to Christmas, I can feel the change. The weeks after the Super Bowl until about mid-March and the wait for ice-out are the toughest. The last few years, winter hiking has helped, I need to get out of the house in sunlight every weekend.

I had a 19 year career in pharmaceutical sales. My product portfolio included medications that were indicated for SAD. SAD is very real and it is worse during the dark dreary days of winter.
