I experience SAD, but have also struggled a lot with MDD and anxiety. Is SAD something that people either have or don't have in response to a lack of sun, or is it more like a symptom that comes and goes from other psychiatric conditions?
For example, if my overall mood and resilience improved, would I be able to handle living in Portland more than I would now (which is to say I'd never even try to live there because I think the gloom would kill me)?
