If you’re feeling especially apprehensive or despondent lately, don’t discount the influence of fewer hours of sunlight and falling serotonin. This annual biochemical has been messing with humanity since our cave days, when the return of the sun was a matter of speculation, not certainty. Compounding this distress, here in America we hold our elections during this emotionally fraught window of time. Please guard your #MentalHealth and amplify your #SelfCare efforts. It’s not you; this is rough.
