Bhairitu,
It's understandable why this is the case. From what I've heard, there are
some countries in Europe, like Sweden and Finland, where it's always dark
during the winter--with only a very short glimpse of the Sun perhaps. Who
can't be depressed in that environment?
From what I understand, the depression can be cured by taking a regular
artificial sun bath in a special salon. So, there is always a human innovation
to cure the problem during these modern times.
