Why winter gets some of us down – and not others | BBC News

I wonder if its just a natural occurrence - people back in the days probably didn&#39;t do much in the absence of light (no electric light yet) &amp; its cold outside and that was alright to do less. They had harvested in the summer and didnt need to work.<br>Now we say lack of interests, less motivation etc. was just normal due to the season. Because of capitalism where we are expected to work all time of the years as if nothing is different they just put a label on it saying its a psychological issue. Only productivity is rewarded and everything else is seen abnormal. I don&#39;t like the psychologist and these kind of reports gaslighting us that there is something wrong with us instead of looking at work conditions and creating options to stay longer at home and do less in these periods like it was normal for millenias.
