As days become shorter and the weather becomes colder, it is not uncommon to have depression-like symptoms.

For those with the winter blues, the American Psychological Association offers ways to manage symptoms:

• Immerse yourself in daylight by going for a walk, or sitting by a window.
• Eat healthy, low sugar meals.
• Spend time with friends and family.
• Stay active by exercising or scheduling pleasant activities.
• Seek professional help if symptoms worsen.
