Seasonal depression is showing its effects on people. I have personally experienced winter blues and found that Bach flower remedies are fantastic to fight that off. However, I feel that instead of directly going in for remedies, it is better to evolve coping strategies. The dark winters bring recipe for depression because of lack of enough natural light, which affects melatonin hormone in the brain. Research done in England and parts of UK has shown conclusive evidence that 5 to 10 % people have symptoms of mild to moderate depression in winters.

As far as my observations are concerned, the most noticeable changes are shown as variations in sleep and eating behavior. For people who have a major depressive disorder may suffer from more significant signs of holiday blues. If you know that you are prone to seasonal depression, I would recommend that you start with mild dosage of Bach flower remedy called walnut at the onset of the winter times itself. Those who have more problems may use Mustard and a combination depending upon their personality type. The remedies may depend on symptoms like irritability, feeling of boredom and Monday morning blue and not feeling like working. Well it can be tackled, so take it easy.
