Seasonal Affective disorder? That's easy to cure---move. If you have seasons and the seasons bother you then move somewhere where they are realtively the same.
Geez, they havce a drug for everything now. Now if they made one that makes you get up in the morning on Monday and be ready and raring to go to work early in the morning then let me know. I call it WCD---weekend continuity disorder. Think I can win a lawsuit over it? :eusa_doh:

The TV ads for all of these drugs are rather amazing too. They tell you to ask your Doctor for a prescription for "X" but they never say what "X" is for...
You see beautiful looking people running and laughing through impossibly green fields under perfect blue skies... [huh]
These ads give me the distinct feeling that I'm truely living in George Orwell's 1984.

Not so simple. My ex had, (has) that and it's why she moved to Arizona. However, moving did not truly cure her. She was still fairly depressed last I heard.
Bottom line is,...it's what's within us that determines our outlook and hence our eventual outcome in this life. I think Lincoln hit the nail right on the head when he said that most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

You and me both,...among other things I see in this world.
