Do you suffer from wintertime depression?

In our February story “Seeing the Light” (Holistic Healing), we learned that winter’s short days and long nights can trigger a form of depression known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in susceptible people, but that lightbox therapy and vitamin D can help reduce SADness.

Now it’s your turn. Do you suffer from the wintertime blues, and how do you cope? We want to know!

    1. I take vitamin D as well. I also try to spend extra time with family. We watch movies and host game nights, whatever will keep our minds off of the wintertime blues.
