There is a very big difference between the wintertime blues and seasonal depression. But the treatments may be more similar than you would guess. Without drugs, without any drastic treatment, sometimes it is possible to to get better.  Of course anything you do for your health or consider to do should be approved or recommended by your doctor. The key word here is natural. Getting back to nature and giving the body what it is asking for.
Here are some simple tips. There are several reasons for your seasonal depression: lack of light, too much stress, not enough sleep and eating the wrong foods. If you alter these four aspects of your life, you will see the symptoms of depression begin to improve.
For example, it gets darker earlier and this becomes an issue for people who get up when it?s still dark, work all day in an office, and go home in darkness. Artificial light just doesn?t cut it. Take the time out, even if only a little, to take a walk during lunch. If you don?t have time during lunch, make time. It will also reduce your stress to get away from your environment and get some fresh air. Stress reduction is the second key. Try to limit your stress, try to take time to enjoy yourself, and offer yourself time to relax. 
Do not forget about meditations. Sleep is a huge factor. We normally don?t get enough sleep and that seriously affects how we function. I cannot stress this enough: GO TO SLEEP EARLY. An old proverb says ?an hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after midnight.?Finally, the way we eat can determine whether or not we suffer from depression. If you don?t eat properly, your serotonin level may be low.
Pills like Prozac bring tits level up chemically. But serotonin is produced in the gut and if the gut works perfectly, your levels will be normal. In order to achieve this, you may have to give up alcohol, give up dairy, and give up caffeine as well as wheat and other gluten containing foods. Before making any health decision consult your doctor. Depression can also be caused by hormone deficiencies, so if you feel symptoms, see your doctor.  We also specialize in the treatment of hormonal deficiencies with depression.
