emotion tweaks

It is autumn in London, and winter is almost approaching as the sunny days becomes increasingly gloomy.

With winter around at the corner, it is inevitable that one might experience seasonal affective disorder, which is a mild type of depression that appears only in winter, with a high prevalence amongst English population (lol)

I used to be quite sceptical about this type of depression, and uses to think that the lack of sunshine is the ultimate cause of whatever unhappiness that occurs during winter. But realising that depression being merely circuit faulty between different neural networks in different regions of the brain offers an alternative view that perhaps, it is not a big thing after all. Maybe all we need is a decreased activation of amygdala :)

Till then, stay positive. When in a situation of panic, bear in mind that they are just emotion tweaks in the brain. :D

P.s. : I hope this is not my last winter here :p
