35 million people suffer from S.A.D. What are they suffering from?

McGruff

S.A.D. stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder, a specific type of major depression which reoccurs at specific times of the year. The most common pattern is the onset of major depression in the fall (September through November) and abating of the symptoms in late winter to early spring (March through May.) There are other people who experience periods of abnormally high or euphoric mood between major depressive episodes. The frequency of S.A.D. seems to vary with geographic location. It may approach 10% of the general population in northern New England, 5% of the population in the Baltimore/Washington area, and less the 2% of the population of Southern California or Florida.
