During the months of November to February, and days start getting shorter and colder, and the nights are longer and darker. Climate change seems to affect many people and they can not understand why tend to feel sad and miserable. This is called winter depression or mood disorder seasonal affective disorder (SAD).According to E. Rosenthal Norman, the doctor who coined the term SAD in 1984, winter depression has a sound medical basis involves changes in mood centers in the body caused by shorter daylight hours and the lack of sunlight. Most people who suffer from depression feel a sense of isolation and absolute unity. But the fact that many people go through the same frown at this time of year brings a sense of comfort and reassurance that they are not alone. As the cliché goes, "misery loves company."
According to statistics from seasonal depression, 500,000 people in the UK experience some form of winter depression, while doctors and estimates that have affected 20% of the population, or people close to 2 million in Sweden by this condition.
One of the most effective treatments and clinically proven for the CAS is "light therapy", which has been shown to receive approximately 80-85% of SAD. It is as simple as it may seem, and treatment is actually more than just turn on the light and sat next to him while twiddling your thumbs while you wait for renewable energy "power-up" your whole being.
National average office light or trivial issue 200-500 lux (a lux is a unit of photometric), while the minimum 2500 lux for relieving symptoms of seasonal depression. On the other hand, can we clear days in summer and to reach a density of 100,000 lux.
Based on these specifications, invented a number of specially designed light boxes emit just the right amount of light. The SAD symptoms gradually disappear by sitting in front of the other for about 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the severity of the condition.
The therapy may be the best treatment for SAD since the symptoms are concerned. However, you can address the root causes of the situation involving both antidepressants and psychotherapy drugs, especially for those who have severe symptoms.
Studies have shown that the incidence of SAD increases significantly as you go 30 degrees north or south latitude, and when the condition is almost unheard of in tropical countries. The trip may or holiday traffic to these countries the equator seems impractical, but certainly can improve mood and well-being.
Watch movies characterized by warm, sunny, show an improvement of climate been demonstrated in the mood. Research shows that any movie with a dash of blue sky, palm trees and the absence of snow should be treated the film.
Has the same effect leads to improve mood just looking outdoor sports like cricket or golf. However, it was found more exposure to snooker, darts, bowling for an internal investigation into a state of depression, catatonic trance that, in severe cases, leads to the collapse of the entire mental health.

"Point of collapse: Factors behind the madness"
What a person can lead to madness? Certainly, this madness is generally accepted (or misunderstood), and usually wears some kind of stigma in the popular consciousness. If you think that in modern psychology and psychiatry, and there are thousands of forms of dementia a person may end up developing over a lifetime. Some, such as depression, are temporary, while others, such as social anxiety, require more work for one person to pass through. However, there seems to be common ground with regard to the following, in fact in most forms of madness that people spend. Which brings us to the issue of support: Is there a common, basic operator that affects the stability of the mental health of people?
Is often cited such things as tension, anxiety, and the most common (and more rare) are run from mental health problems by one of two. Can be long-term exposure to stress may have to pay someone behind the "breaking point" of their own, with a form of madness that will eventually be affected by external factors. This is often a long and arduous process, because most people have a degree of resistance to such things, so they can survive at least in the difficult period of sanity intact. In addition, the process can not really even lead to madness, with most of the population as evidence of this theory. And can be pressure for long periods affect the person's behavior and expectations, but it is also known that several other factors can increase or reduce the impact of this. In some cases, it can stress and anxiety to be just the opposite effect, depending on the personal views of the individual.
He also said emotions play a key role in behavior or to drive people to madness, with the feelings of the very closely related to mental health. The state can not love a person is often a reflection of the state with respect to a person of psychological stability, but can also become a mental health break. There is no doubt that emotions can affect and influence the thought processes of a person and make them do things they would not normally do. It was also noted that cases of a very emotional and psychological trauma and emotional heavy can affect permanently in the mind of any person, resulting often in a situation that requires treatment, and overcome in the end. However, it is doubtful that emotion rather than simply increase the effects of stress and pressure, and is not a factor in itself.
The shock of the frequently cited as drastic effects on the mental health of a person, especially if it occurs during the formative years. Psychological and emotional effects that can have a severe shock in many cases, to afford a spent force. Breaking point, with lasting effects on their mental health, however, it should be noted that the shock tends to be some sort of a combination of pressures, emotional, and usually mixed with extreme circumstances. Weak self of the person plays a greater role here than in other possible causes of insanity, and that is why in shock later in life does not have the same effect as similar events experienced during childhood.
In the end, and madness is one thing, such as mental health, must be defined on an individual basis. What is a reasonable person in a society can not be considered as such by another person in the same company. Madness is a matter of context in this case, a hypothesis that some psychological texts do.
