When everyone?s in the mood to have fun and party hard, there are some who are in no mood to enjoy and just want to shut themselves in. If you feel inexplicably gloomy, the weather might just be the culprit. Thankfully, that vague feeling of depression and uneasiness has a well-defined name ? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).SAD was first officially classified as a disorder in 1984, by British psychiatrist Norman E Rosenthal, who observed cases of depression that occurred especially during winter. When a patient walked into his office at the National Institute of Mental Health, Washington DC, and admitted to mood changes with the onset of winter when the sunlight was low, Rosenthal and his colleagues treated the patient with bright lights, which eventually helped the patient manage his depression successfully.
SAD signs
SAD is more pronounced among people in European and Scandinavian countries, where the heavy snowfall and lack of daylight affect their mood. Dr BR Madhukar, consultant psychiatrist, Manasa Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Bangalore, recollects many cases of SAD when he was practising in England. ?People neglect their appearance, and let the dishes pile up. Symptoms are characterised by anxiety, lack of energy, low sex drive, and acute pessimism. If you are someone who likes to go out and meet friends, you may want to be left alone.? Many people in India experience similar symptoms during the monsoon when the grey-tinged world, in general, can affect mood strongly. Dr Madhukar explains the link between light and the imbalance in our bodies?
neurochemicals. ?The hypothalamus, which regulates our mood, sleep and appetite, cannot function correctly when the body receives reduced sunlight.? Also, owing to low sunlight, the pineal gland produces more melatonin that makes you lethargic.
Mood boosters
Make more room for mood-enhancing food in your diet. Include salmon, kidney beans, lean meat, chicken and lettuce ? all food rich in vitamin B 12 and folic acid, both mood elevators. Fruits and vegetables are full of phyto-chemicals that help fight mood disorders. Selenium found in brown rice, oat bran and whole grains can also help fight depression. If the clouds are blocking your daily dose of vitamin D, ask your doctor to recommend supplements. Of course, a small bite of dark chocolate always helps as it is known to release feel-good endorphins in the brain. You could also try yoga poses such as simhasana, matsyasana, and virabhadrasana that are known to be effective uppers. Moreover, treatment of SAD includes anti-depressants and counselling sessions with the family. Indeed, like with much else in life, support makes all the difference when you are feeling SAD.

Lights on
In the UK, a dawn simulator is used to treat SAD. These are devices which slowly increase the light in the room, simulating sunlight, just before you wake up. This is purported to reset your body clock back to normal and correct disrupted sleeping patterns. Electronics major Philips manufactures therapy lights (goLITE BLU) that use blue light to reduce symptoms of SAD. (Available on www.amazon.com for approximately Rs 7,300).
