I grew up in northern Canada so I know full well the effects of S.A.D.. one thing my doctor recommended is a full-spectrum-light which unfortunately is a bit pricey but may well be worth the relief and dirt cheap compared to the climbing costs of prescription anti-depressants!! try: www.fullspectrumsolutions.com
She also prescribed vitamin D drops and I think I feel some improvement from last winter.

Yes! It's called S.A.D. - Seasonal Affective Depression. When the sun's not out, we're more depressed. At work, there are big exterior windows on the building. When it's a gloomy day with no sun, everyone is a tad bit more crabby.

I know that it does.... so does medical science which is why they have given the winter blues a name... Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) because they have recognised what mothers have known for centuries a little sunshine is a good thing..

No, It would be nice to have light from time to time, but who you are determines your mood.

yes - every room humans occupy has a window - this is not a coincidence - for hundreds of years this has influenced housing design
