I read somewhere that in places like India, people there have SAD during the summer months. So I guess that explains it.

I grew up in Michigan where the summers are ideal and beautiful. The winters are long and they suck. Then I lived in the central valley of CA for 20 years where summers are brutal. I worked outside in that 105 sun all the time. Now I am back in Michigan and it is summer. I acclimate to both climates. My depression doesn't care it does its seasonal cycle thing no matter what. Like I said the seasonal aspect of it is not talked about much but I think it is much more common then we realize.
