Does anyone know any details about seasonal affective disorder?

my friend Kelly, we think is suffering S.A.D since she was a kid, and in the last few years its got a little bit better.

feeling down in the winter months, wanting to be alone, avoiding socializing as much as possible its not nice at all

but as soon as spring and summer arrive, she feels completely at ease with herself and generally upbeat, just enjoying life again,

do you think this is S.A.D and if so, got any tips how she overcome the symptoms?

cheers,

Rob.

Hi

I have heard that ultra-violet lights can help.

Oh wow I totally forgot about SAD. That probably as something to do with my current state of mind, I always get a bit depressed and weird over the winter months. aha.

Hope your friend's alright.
