(CNN) -- I grew up in a place where the sun shone every day from May through October. These sun-drenched days were the happiest times of my life. But in winter a dense fog would often blanket my hometown for weeks at a time, leaving the world gray and featureless and leaving me down and dreary. These seasons were so definite, so unchanging, that I just came to believe that summer was happy and winter was sad. No wonder, then, that I've always had a personal fascination with winter depression, known more commonly as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. About 15% of the U.S. population experiences the problematic rhythmic change of the seasons. For these individuals, time itself is a stressor, and winter is often a season of despair. Most of these people who find the season a downer are able to power through the gray days and get by.
