The lockdown has taken a toll on people's mental health, and there are many who are hoping that the situation normalises before the monsoon. But there are some others whose lives are awash with misery when the rains arrive. They can't handle it. The muck, the incessant pitter-patter, the sticky feeling of wet clothes — it all gets to them to such an extent that they experience a feeling of listlessness. They hope that the October heat will remedy the situation. But it doesn't. And the feeling of depression sometimes gets even worse in the winter, because what they are actually suffering from is a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder, ironically abbreviated as SAD, which unhinges their mental framework as the months tick by in a calendar year.
