Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, winter blues, or seasonal depression, is a medical condition caused by the seasonal change in the amount of available sunlight.

SAD affects as much as 10% of the population.
SAD is most pronounced in the north, with a greater daylight variance from summer to winter.
SAD affects women more than men by almost a 3 to 1 ratio.
SAD's symptoms in its milder form- "winter blues' includes a lack of energy, depression, listlessness, and food cravings for sweets and carbohydrates.
SAD's more debilitating form includes problems sleeping, change in appetite or weight, loss of memory, lack of concentration, severe depression and confusion.
