About Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

Question

Can a person have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in the summertime...?

Answer 1

Anything is possible. Some people do prefer the winter and as a result could bring them down in the summer. I would think that it would be very rare/difficult to find someone with this problem. As humans, we are hard wired to desire sunlight and the outdoors. In the winter, you don't get much of either.  

Answer 2

it's known as the winter depression so i dont think so.

&& it's related to the amount of light someone gets (in the winter you get less)

Answer 3

Maybe the person gets depressed in the summer because everyone else seems so happy at this time of year.  The person recognizes he/she does not feel happy and to see others being happy brings the person down.  The summer could also  be an anniversary of a sad event the person had.  One should see a doctor to get the differential diagnosis.   Good Luck.
