Depression during the winter season can be more than just winter blues.

Seasonal depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, usually affects people who live in the North. Dr. Hal from the University of Manitoba says symptoms are similar to depression.

Treatments include exposure to Seasonal Affective Disorder therapy lamps. In Thompson residents can rent one from Ron Buchman, from Moods Disorder Manitoba at 679-2324.
