Seasonal affective disorder, aka SAD, is a type of depression, with up to 3 million cases reported each year. A reduced level of sunlight in fall and winter is suspected to cause winter-onset SAD, according to the Mayo Clinic.

And it’s not just something that affects people in rain-soaked regions like the Pacific Northwest: SAD impacts humans of all ages, all backgrounds, and all around the globe.
