i have summer sad also, and although there is supposedly a higher incedence of it with bipolar, i have unipolar depression/ mdd - "typical variety."
i do personally know one other woman who is also unipolar, like me, and who also has summer sad. she lives in houston - must be very rough for her there. she' in her 20's; i'm in my 50's.
both of us can recall having this since childhood. going to summer camp, NO WAY!
for both of us, it's the GLARING light AND the humidity.
i think feeling "assaulted by the light" and "being in summer jail "are 2 VERY apt ways of putting it.
*i'm primarily posting this because i think it's VERY important for folks to know that some with summer sad are NOT bipolar.*
