Do you suffer from winter depression? If so, you are not alone. According to recent health day news, it affects up to 1 out of every 5 Americans. "Feeling sluggish or moody when it's darker and cold outside is not uncommon, but it could be a sign of seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that develops during the winter." MORE [2]
