The person is experiencing symptoms that are consistent with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is a type of depression that is related to changes in seasons. The onset of symptoms in November, worsening in January, and improvement in April all suggest SAD. The weight gain and overeating may also be related to SAD, as some people with this disorder have an increased appetite, cravings for carbohydrates, and weight gain.
