Seasonal Affective Disorder Isn’t Just for Winter (Published 2021)

Feeling blue even though everyone seems to be basking in perfect summer weather? There might be a good reason for that.

I am skeptical, and I don’t like to belittle anyone’s diagnoses, but it just is an article about people who have summertime seasonal affective disorder instead of winter. Not related to skiing necessarily.

Some combination of pollen, humidity, and general anxiety about social situations.

I am a firm believer that having a winter outdoor activity that you pursue (skiing, ice fishing, pond hockey, hell even snowmachining) will significantly reduce winter time SAD. And I feel the same about summer. Some amount of fresh air, exercise, endorphin rush, and fellowship would cure most of these cases.

This is why I started skiing.

Ice fishing is for men who hate their wives. Snowmachining is for people who can't ski.

I don’t think I suffer from SAD but I think I have some recessive Neanderthal/Hunter-gather gene because whenever the seasons change I feel a strong urge to load everything I own in my car and migrate

I ice fish and love my wife

Snowmachining is for people who can't ski

I do both
