| For some people, sub-zero temperatures aren't the only difficult side effect of winter. Approximately 10 million Americans also experience seasonal affective disorder, a depression-related mental health condition that waxes and wanes depending on the time of year.
In most instances, the disorder begins around the last leg of fall and lasts through the spring. It's typically prevalent among people in northern states that are cloudier, colder and darker for extended periods of time.
Unfortunately, the changing season isn't the only surprising cause of depression. There are some triggers -- including lifestyle habits -- that can prompt the condition.
"Depression comes in many forms. It can be mild and people can be functional, or it can be severe and debilitating," Josie Znidarsic, a family physician at the Cleveland Clinic's wellness institute, told The Huffington Post. "It can happen to anyone. ... A major life trauma doesn't have to occur to have depression. It's also not something that will just disappear if you ignore it."
