Some people may scoff at the idea of seasonal depression, thinking that a change in the weather can’t really make a person depressed or that anyone who feels this way just needs to get a grip on their emotions and snap out of it. We all deal with the same weather as our neighbors, so why should some actually suffer from seasonal depression when others are perfectly fine through the worst of winters? There are some reasons why some people have this disorder when others don’t, and there are also some things that any person can do to deal with it.
