Why do I feel sad in the winter months?
Every winter I notice my mood drops — I feel more tired, down, and unmotivated. When spring comes I feel better. Is this a real thing or am I imagining it? Could it be related to less sunlight? Is there anything I can do about feeling low in the winter? Should I talk to a doctor?

I'm not a doctor and you should definitely talk to your physician about this. That said, the general medical consensus seems to be that moderation is key. Most health concerns come from extremes in either direction.
I work in healthcare and see this question frequently. The short answer is that individual results vary enormously. What works for one person might not work for another. The best approach is to work with your doctor to find what's right for your specific situation.
