  Senior lecturer in clinical studies at Monash University Dr Craig Hassad, says it relates to a natural reduction in energy, which tends to occur in the winter months. “The lack of sunlight has a negative effect on mood, which in its more extreme form is a type of depression â€" Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).â€
  
  SAD tends to strike at the start of winter, hence why people often refer to it as the ‘winter-blues’. The exact cause is not known, but it’s often blamed on a lack of available sunlight. One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.
  
  Dr. Hassad says although humans don't hibernate, there is a natural reduction in energy usage in winter. “That is probably an evolutionary remnant of when food was scarce at such a time.†He says this low feeling can be stamped out by staying active, getting some winter sunlight, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and pacing yourself throughout the year.
  ...
  Dr Hassad says certain fats also play an integral role in brain function. “Working Omega-3 into your diet (found in fish and flaxseed oil) can help lift a person’s mood and reduce anxiety.â€
  ...
  Dr Hassad says relieves stress and anxiety while making you more aware of your thought patterns. “Research suggests that it helps to increase serotonin and reduce the incidence of depression.â€Even five minutes of meditation a day can help keep the black dog at bay.

Dr Craig Hassed was trained in medicine at Melbourne University and graduated in 1984.His interest in a holistic approach led him to focus on wellbeing rather than simply treating illness.This led him to focus upon counselling, mind-body medicine and meditation.In 1988 Craig decided to make a contribution to bridging these missing links in medical education through joining the Monash University Department of Community Medicine and General Practice.I would like to thank him for giving us permission to publish this article and bring his work to your attention.
