00:09

of year unless you live in california Did you know

00:11

the entire states permanently set toe a balmy seventy eight

00:14

degrees here's today's question mary lives in denver and become

00:17

sad in winter during the summer seasons She feels happier

00:21

she might suffer from what And here are potential answers

00:25

Sad mad poor mary don't get sad get glad or

00:31

is it Don't get mad something like that Well this

00:34

is why we didn't last is glad spoke person Alright

00:37

well initially you might lean toward bipolar disorder After all

00:40

bipolar disorder is a mental disorder best characterized by notable

00:44

alternating periods of mood going from elation and positivity to

00:48

depression and negativity However bipolar disorder has nothing to do

00:53

with seasonal change and it's just possible that someone would

00:56

feel up in the winter and down in the summer

01:00

as they would the opposite So it's not our answer

01:02

And seeing as the described feelings experienced by mary don't

01:05

include anything to do with panic attacks We can eliminate

01:08

dia's well though to be fair Panic it the sight

Of snow isn't uncommon when californians venture further north what

01:16

way only screamed and ran around the circles of her

01:18

six times And unless mary sadness during wintertime is somehow

01:22

linked to an irrational anxiety that she has a serious

01:25

disease than hypochondria doesn't fit either So that leaves us

01:29

with sad and mad And if you're thinking the answer

01:32

must be sad because well that's mary's problem you're right

01:37

but only because sad stands for seasonal affective disorder People

01:42

suffering from sad usually experienced symptoms of depression during the

01:46

cold dark months a winner and often tend to live

01:49

in higher latitudes where there are fewer hours of sunlight
