Hi, Rajeev...

There are a few things you can do at season changes to help, but they are really the same things you need to do whenever you're having trouble with your mood...

First, talk to your doctor...he should be able to adjust your meds to help smooth out the journey. Second, maintain a regular sleep schedule, 7 - 8 hours per night, at night. Third, excercise 20 - 30 minutes each day. A simple walk will do, if you can get outside even better. Natural light is the best thing. Fourth, maintain a healthy diet.

All these things are obvious, but it's so easy to blow them off when we are not feeling right.

One more suggestion--you can replace your regular light bulbs with "full spectrum" or "natural light" light bulbs. One of my pdocs said the problem this time of year is the rapid change in the length of the day...that's why it is so important to maintain a regular schedule. The full spectrum bulbs mimc the sun's rays, and help alleviate the effects of the changing seasons.

I hope there is something here to help you...I go through it, too. I've felt really bad this year...last year I was in the hospital!
