Seasonal depression is caused by low levels of vitamin D. You should take a look at this article on the topic: http://www.pamelaegan.com/articles/vitamin-d3-sunlight.htm

Hi
I wish it was just seasonal but its all year. I do notice that shorter days make me gloomy but I do the light therapy and its helpful. The lights are sold online. Well depending on where you live spring should be around the corner and with the change in season hopefully you'll feel better.
take care & be well

I too suffer terribly with SAD. I am a mess in the summer, which is called SAD in reverse Summer Variant. Then come the winter I'm a mess again. Spring is ok and Fall is ok. So where the hell should we move to? I live on the Northern East Coast. I guess I'm just chronically depressed. however, I do feel energized by thunder storms. Go figure??

I came across this article the other day and it seems pretty cut-and-dry in terms of both problem and solution: http://vitamind3blog.com/2011/07/seasonal-affective-disorder-depression-vitamin-d-deficiency-seattle/
