Mental sickness in winter

I recently came to know some people feel SAD in winter. I remember when I was school student then I used to feel sadness during winter. I didn't know that it is actually Seasonal Affective Disorder. And it was not only me who feels like that. It is kind of a mood disorder also know as depression.

During my HS exam doctor prescribed me anti depression tablets because that time I was suffering from depression and migraine. 

Choosing the right doctor is very important for any phycological treatments. I went to doctors to doctors from general physician, psychiatrists, neurologist to neuropsychiatrist in the year of 2012 and 2013. The problem was new to me and I knew nothing about this kind of problem. I was also scared. 

A general physician can't treat mental illness it is the work of psychiatrists or neuropsychiatrist. I problem was solved when I finally met one neuropsychiatrist. I was prescribed only one anti depression tablet that solve all my problems. 

I was never a good student in school even my 10+2 result was bad. But when I got the right treatment I became the second topper in my college for next three semesters. I suddenly became good in mathematics, physics like subjects. 

The medicine I continued till now after 2013. The new problem was I couldn't stop taking the medicine. If I stop then my migraine comes back. I again went to the doctors to doctors. All of them advised me to keep taking the medicine. 

I asked my doctors, "When exactly can I stop taking the medicine?" I got the answers like I can come to a lower dose when I will be in a stable position in my life.

I have noticed that every year in winter season I felt that the dose I take doesn't work properly. When I asked my doctor about it then he advised me to increase the dose and it worked fine. 

It's not that I am 100 percent cure from depression as I take my medicine. It is like the medicine helps me to fight with depression. I can continue my work and study even if I feel low sometime. Feeling low is very temporary now.

Places where we need improvement

Train was 1h 33m late. I was carrying a pram in one hand and 2 bags in other when there was another side bag that was hanging from my solder. My wife Rinky was carrying our 6 month old baby Ridhaan and a ladies side bag.  Our compartment no was D1. At first I thought it will be in the front part of the train but later discovered that the compartment was at the end part.  I found it little difficult to walk faster with the luggage. My wife was walking in front of me at little distance.  When we reached almost the end, train started moving.  I told my wife to board in the train whatever coach it was. And I myself entered into the nearest coach. With the pram and luggage it was very difficult to enter through the gate.  Passengers who were standing at the gate didn't bother helping me with the luggage. Even didn't make me way to enter easily.  My wife also struggled to enter the running train with her hand bag and the baby. My wife told me that if she wasn't h...

 Today you put your shoes on by yourself. Though both in wrong legs. Also you went to pee at the bathroom but peed in your paint. When I went to house for lunch then I left my bag in the varanda but you took my bag inside the room. During lunch you sat on my lap.  After my lunch when I was about to leave for office then you did tata to me and when I asked you to bring my bag then you brought it. Also you tried to open the gate so that I can go out.  Then you climbed the gate as I didn't let you out with me. Yes, you did all these and you are only 16 months old.

Later, I discovered that it was due to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) . During this time, I usually increase the dosage of Nexito medicine to balance my mood. This year, I followed the same approach, but it did not yield better results. Therefore, I decided to do some research using ChatGPT and found some helpful solutions.
