Cranky In the Summer/Depressed In The Winter

It has been a conversation starter amongst my friends lately since it is finally Springtime here in New York City. We were discussing how people are usually depressed and listless when its cold, rainy and snowy. It is a very hard lifestyle in New York City in the wintertime and It takes a toll on you and your body. Now that spring is approaching, people are smiling more that the sun is shinning and wanting to eat dinner outside and go for drinks with friends. People are a lot more social when the weather is nice. I find that a lot of people tend to gain weight during the winter as well because they do not work out as much as they would when the weather is nice. Also, if it is snowing and cold in the city, who really wants to walk anywhere? I can admit that I definitely take more cabs and buses in the winter. This has always been an intriguing subject amongst my friends. Also, people tend to be cranky and irritated for no apparent reason. And when it is cold and gloomy, It is hard not to feel depressed. There is a name for these different moods at it is called Seasonal Affective Disorder.
