You could say the same thing about Depression.
The problem is, cause and effect. Does S.A.D lead to becoming fat, therefore lazy, therefore not wanting to go tow work? Or does all that precede coming down with a nasty case of S.A.D?
If you want me to get scientific on yo' ***, then research has suggested that natural sunlight increases Seratonin (basically happy juice) production in your brain, so lack of it would mean you become more depressed.
S.A.D lamps are basically lamps with daylight simulator lightbulbs stuck in them, therefore not natural, therefore they won't produce that glorius happy juice. So, if they work, it means its a plecebo, meaning that yes, S.A.D IS something you just need to snap yourself out of.
Saying that, other things cause an increased production of seratonin .. sex, chocolate, looking at the colour yellow. So, if winter makes you sad, find other things to make you happy, bitches.

Seasonal Affection Disorder sound like a joke by its name,BUT it is legitimate. People that cannot handle long winters should consider temperate zones. If one can't afford to move try having a room painted in light colors with plenty of bright lights,but not as to blind people. If you go out in the snow put on some sunblock since the light is reflected more people can still end with skin burns from too much sun light.

S.A.D. is a genuine condition which can affect anyone not just fat people.
Although I do think that some people use it as an excuse for laziness(not genuine sufferers).

No it's not an excuse. I have SAD but I still work. Sure I have been more depressed and miserable and unhealthy over the winter months, but I make the effort anyway.
I will not allow anything like this to defeat me or spoil my life. It is difficult, but I am not a weak person. I keep going.
As for giving you a break, certainly, it would be a pleasure, which of your limbs would you like me to break?

S.A.D. is a serious medical condition. It is a form of depression. And it is ignorant stupid people like you that are causing society so much harm not 'fat lazy people'.
By the way your rant makes you sound like a football hooligan. Fool.

No, is a serious condition. I have it and I am certainly not fat or lazy - I work four jobs! But I do have a SAD lamp for the winters and a Bodyclock to help tell my body that is is morning and not middle of the night.
Do you have an IQ? It doesn't appear so!

I'd rather talk to someone with SAD than speak to an ignorant attention seeking pratt like you who picks on subjects about vulnerable people just to get a reaction. Do you not have anything intelligent you could actually discuss ??? Ask Mummy if you can go out to play for longer being its school holidays - you may just make a friend.

Seasonal Affective Disorder - NOT to be confused with Sudden Adult Death - which would definately apply to the above!
No I dont think so. I honestly believe people do suffer
depressions etc from Oct to March due to lack of sunlight.
It is a recognised illness but can be helped by purchasing a special "light box" which simulates natural daylight.
Lack of vitamin B is understood to be a cause of the lethargy.
(I think its B anyway)

Keep it for the message boards, this site isn't a platform for your soapbox ranting. The best response to S.A.D. is to get out of the house and get into the sunshine... what there is of it.
Reported.

Mmm.. a bit contentious this! I suppose there must be something in it but I happen to like dark, rainy days and I read somewhere that the suicide rate actually goes up in early spring! I think we have gotten out of the habit of hibernating/ slowing down and wrapping up and just taking things a bit more slowly!
