Alberta winters are a unique blend of breathtaking beauty and significant challenges for your mental well being. You're not imagining it if you feel a shift in your mood as the days shorten and the temperatures drop. This chapter will help you understand why you feel this way, so you can start to build strategies that actually work. Think of it this way: your body and mind are finely tuned to your environment. When that environment changes dramatically for several months, you're going to feel it. Here in Alberta, those changes are extreme.
