summer stops this process from happening, but when winter approaches, less sunlight can mean that more serotonin ends up hibernating in your neurons, causing
seasonal depression.»

seasonal effective disorder and we also know this as the winter blues but it's this problem where whether you're stuck in the dark office all day and it's
summer or spring or fall or winter or whether the sun just not out where you're at, what happens is it lowers your serotonin levels specifically because when we get an upregulation of melatonin and kind of a natural circadian rhythm, we get really nice stabilized serotonin levels and when that gets disrupted we can get
depression, fatigue, sleepiness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, a lot of different issues.
