Often feel down in the cooler months? If the political climate is already stressing you out, your seasonal bout of depression could be worse this year.
As temperatures drop, so does the amount of daylight. Until March 20, there will be more hours of darkness than light in a day for people living in the Northern Hemisphere.
That lack of light is often associated with seasonal affective disorder, but stress also influences the onset and progression of SAD, Dr. Norman Rosenthal tells Newsweek. In the 1980s, Rosenthal was the first to describe the syndrome.
“Light is very important, but so is stress,” he says. “In the middle of the summer, you can burn the midnight oil. But in the winter, it doesn’t feel as easy to rally when you have unexpected stressors appear.”
Could the political atmosphere in the United States be one of those unexpected stressors? “I would say yes. You know, people are worried, then you hear that the president is going to annihilate North Korea,” Rosenthal says. “I think these stressors definitely do register more powerfully.”

Just proves that the higher the college degree, the less sense they make......and that colleges are effective in their indoctrination/brainwashing efforts...
Nope, I suffered with it for 8 long years and now I'm on the road to recovery.......
Another brutal Thanksgiving dinner table...
Here's to a white Christmas.
We suffered through 8 winters under Obama surely nothing could be worse then that!
With President Trump, it’s gonna be summer for the next 8 years.
Time for a sing along... Dancing in the Street

I was singing and dance all day long the day after Election Day last year:)
Left wingers Kill yourself, be glad to buy the rope.

It sounds like my schadenboner will get some support in the off-season. The idea that liberals could get really depressed makes me happier than I could have believed.
Their misery has been and is my profound joy.
...SAD! TRUMP COULD MAKE YOUR COLD WEATHER DEPRESSION WORSE THIS YEAR...
Only if you are a lunatic liberal, still weeping over the loos suffered in November as it approaches it’s first anniversary. This behavior is another symptom of the contagious mental illness affecting democrats and other liberals
Newsweek must be trying to give The Atlantic a run for their money, with all their recent and ridiculous Trump bashing. sheesh.
I’ve told my wife the same.
President Trump is a cure!
This is clearly Trump's fault.But will Trump be getting credit for the fact that the Southern Hemisphere will be getting more hours of *daylight* during this time?
Had a bout of depression at 16, some 33 years ago. It went away within a year but I KNEW at the time it was Trump’s fault.
I could just feel it :)
I also hold him responsible for, in no particular order:
The Napoleonic wars
The War of the Roses
WWII
WWI
WWIII
WWIV
Civil War
The Plague
Flu epidemic after WWI..
Feel free to add to the list...
Me too! Nothing makes me happier than seeing distressed, suicidal, crying snowflake loser libs.
Just returning the favor after 8 loooong years of oblowme & company.
Rot, lefties, rot.
I see. So now Trump is worse than Winter. What the f*** will he be blamed for next? I swear, if a comet were on the way to hit this sorry-a$$ planet, the NYT would headline: “Trump policies to end world. Comet hits Saturday at 2 PM. Trump reportedly doesn’t care about The Blacks, Hispanics, gays, m*slims, transsexuals about to be affected. Did golfing contribute to Climate Change?”
The Trumpulmonary hypertension of the media is incurable...
