This article avoids controversy about the diagnosis
I believe there is considerable controversy about the adequacy of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is not addressed in this article. The originator of the disorder, Dr. Rosenthal, seems to have based his thinking on his observation that some people seem sluggish in the winter. But that is problematic. Perhaps people simply do not exercise as much in colder weather when there is less light. Furthermore, there does not appear to be an appreciation for geographic regions that do not have much of a winter, but experience comparable levels of depression. If the absence of daylight causes depression, then shouldn't society's that don't have much of winter have less depression?
