They're born with it

I disagree that people are born with SAD - it is like any form of depression and some people may be more suseptible than others. There's a lot of factors, both physical and mental that can cause people to be at risk of depression, which can then be triggered by outside influences.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is similar to depression but clinical studies have shown that using a light box can relieve symptoms in many cases.

A light box simulates bright, natural daylight and regular exposure can help.
