I believe he is also currently studying psychology. Lets here his say.
Yes I was out both days....everyday. Cloudy both days...sorry to ruin your theory. It is sunny sometimes but there are not alot of people that like to hang out in snow, single digit temp for too long.
You live in California right? Different story....think outside your box.
Cloudy and no sun at all due to planetary alignment (like in alaska) are different things.
Even more so, even incandescent lightbulbs can mimic small amounts of sunlight. Florescent not so much.
Op's post dont even indicate any past of any depression during winter time or even seeking therapy.
I pose a question to OP. How do you know you have SAD?

A few of my friends are in various branches of the military while in school. They stay in school in the states.

And for the record all i said was "Often depression due to weight gain is a reason for S.A.D being diagnosed during the winter months."
I wasn't saying anything about it being the reason in this case.

And if people got depressed all year long, it wouldn't be "Seasonal" now would it?
It scares me that you are someday going to be a Dr.
Anyway I've never been affected by this but I've read many places that sun lamps (or grow lamps like someone else said...a lot cheaper) help a lot.
She's not the only case either, in one town alone they had 20 cases per year of rickets. The doctors say most cases are due to children spending too much time indoors playing video games and using the computer.

You really should get your obsession with over weight people checked out. It could be turning into a phobia.
