Thank you for the article, it has terrific information. DST always does a number on me with depression which lasts from Nov-April. I'm on AD's & my depression is pretty much controlled but every single year I can feel the sadness creep in. It's been very cloudy & cold here already & I can tell it's coming.
The most helpful thing for me is to get as much sunshine or light from outside as possible. Even in the winter, I sit outside to catch as
much light as I can. It also helps to do lots of walking or shoveling snow can help too.
Yesterday, in my room I took down all the curtains & shades & washed the windows. The windows face south/east so my room gets very bright & sunny. I'm leaving my windows bare this winter & I want to see if it makes a difference in my moods. I will see.....
