Hi Margarita. How are you doing?Not so good. I just feel a little down for some reason, and I don’t know why.
Winter blues? What’s that?
That’s exactly how I feel. What can I do about it?
What do you have in mind?
There are a few things you can do to boost your mood.
Well, you could start by trying to expose yourself to more sunlight.
Hmmmm ….. Sounds like you’ve got a case of the winter blues.
Winter blues is a mild seasonal condition where people feel a little sad at this time of year. They may also feel a little irritable and lethargic.
More sunlight? How could that help me?
Well, for one thing it will increase your serotonin. This is a chemical in our brain that can boost our mood and make us feel happier.

I’ll try that. Do you have any other ideas?
Sounds like great advice! Thank you.
Why is that?
Well, there is a disorder called Seasonal Affective Disorder. This illness can be treated, but it can be a little more serious.
Yes. Your diet can also contribute to helping you feel better, so make sure you drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
How can it be treated?I am not sure exactly, but I believe that there is a device called a lightbox that simulates the rays of the sun ….
One more thing. Make sure you get enough rest. This is very important. But if this doesn’t work, you should talk to your doctor.
Hey, I heard about this. I think there’s a health seminar at the local rec centre about this. Would you like to attend with me?Sure, let’s sign up!
