However, this doesn't need to happen with everyone. There is a feeling of laziness, sadness, lack of energy and hopelessness. Such people find themselves isolated in social functions or office gatherings. Let us tell you that these problems are mostly seen in women.
Why does winter depression happen?
According to experts, there is a shortage of sunlight in winter. Whereas sunlight often works to improve the mood. This reduces fatigue and negative thoughts do not come. When we do not come in contact with sunlight, we see a negative effect on our mood. The internal clock of the body is badly affected by lack of sunlight. Without enough sunlight, your serotonin levels can decrease and when serotonin is low, depression and SAD occur.
