New Delhi. It is common for people to go into depression in the winter. It is also called winter blue, winter depression or seasonal affective disorder, said Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India.
During winter, there is an imbalance of melatonin and seratonin leading to early morning depression. The common symptoms are unwillingness to get out of woollen rajai and early morning lethargies.
Most often, the effected persons are obese, diabetic females. Another characteristic of SAD is craving for eating salt, sweet or sour food which can result in the associated uncontrolled diabetes and blood pressure.
The treatment is to adopt to Dadima’s advice of knitting woolen sweater in day sunlight. Exposure to sunlight or adequate room light are the only answers.
