Yeah; sun is a good idea, or the spectrum light, like Dej suggested.
Also, exercise is good. If the weather outdoors is not conducive to exercise, try mall-walking, if there's a mall close by. Or, join a health club (not my thing, but some ppl like it.) The activity, and ppl around can be a mood-booster too. (The best I've got is Walmart. It works, but doesn't match a mall.)
If you are not employed, get out of the house everyday. I volunteer at various places (5th grade classroom, several nsg homes -- I play "dinner music" on the piano in one; love that!). Go to church. Watch a video with your spouse once wk, w/ popcorn. Get together with friends, or call them on the phone. Play a board game. Do a puzzle -- I hate em, but, again, some ppl like them.
Try some Saint John's Wort, if you think you might have mild depression. You can find it in health food stores.
Get rid of the February blahs! (I'm sick of winter, but, I'm not blah-ing.)
