Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs during the winter months when there is less daylight. It is thought to be caused by hypersecretion of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles and is produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. SAD symptoms include fatigue, moodiness, and difficulty concentrating.
