What is it called when a person's mood changes according to the weather?


Question:
like when it rains they get depressed, but when it's sunnny their happy.

Answers:
Seasonal Affective Disorder has to do with the amount of sun and thus the amount of serotonin the brain produces, so all the other answers are correct.

However, you could also be referring to a "fair weather friend" -- someone who is your friend only so long as times are good, but when you go through a difficult time, this person disappears. There's also the "foul weather friend" -- someone who loves to commisserate about bad times, but who doesn't want your life to improve, because they need to feel needed, and they don't like others to do better than them.

Cheers, K
seasonal disorder
