Why is it that we tend to feel better in the summer and spring months than we do in the fall and winter months? I don't get really depressed in the winter, but there is definitely a higher level of happiness in the warmer months.
Everyone seems to want to go out more often too. It's like all of a sudden people remembered that they are capable of having fun and going out. Do the seasons affect our mental well being? Studies have shown that people do experience seasonal depression and while temporary, they can be very difficult to deal with.
I know winter months are tougher to get through. Maybe it has to do with the hours of sunlight we have per day. Sunlight makes people happier, right? Or maybe it just has to do with the fact that people are spending more time outside. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that I feel happier so I'm noticing that others are also. Maybe they were happy the whole time and I never noticed.
