Seasonal Sepression: Why Season Changes Make You Depressed?

The most commonly known seasonal depression is 'winter blues', but there is also 'summer depression'. Winter blues normally starts in fall and ends as spring comes around, while summer depression is the opposite.

Persons with seasonal depression can also help themselves by spending as much time in the sun as possible; however they must take care to protect the skin with sunscreen.
