 | | Norman Rosenthal, clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University, coined the term "seasonal affective disorder" in 1984 after experiencing winter depression first-hand upon moving from the mild climate of Johannesburg, South Africa to the seasonal United States. |
 | | Some of the symptoms are that when the days are short and dark, people have trouble focusing and thinking, they have trouble functioning at work and in their relationship, their sleep and appetites get disturbed and, in most cases, they sleep longer, eat more, gain weight and crave sweet starches, said Rosenthal. |
 | | They can be sure to get out for walks when the weather is clear, exercise is a good anti-depressant and its a good prophylactic, said Rosenthal. |
