健康提示:多曬太陽 遠離憂傷

For the last six years, John Bokop and his wife have headed to Florida for at least two weeks during the winter.
在過去的六年裏，約翰·博科普和他的妻子都會去佛羅里達呆上兩個禮拜度過冬天。

"(We just want) to get away from the snow we've been having and the cold weather," he said.
“（我們想）遠離那些我們在寒冷天氣下遇到的大雪。”他說道。

While shorter days and less sunlight can cause cabin fever for some, a portion of the population experiences sadder moods and lower energy levels with the arrival of winter.
在短日照的日子和缺乏陽光照射會使一些人得幽閉症，隨着冬季的到來一部分人傷感並且缺乏活力。

The condition is known as seasonal affective disorder, and Mark Richman, assistant director for community mental health at the Delaware Department of Health and Human Services, said it's a type of depression that's triggered by the change in seasons.
這就是我們熟知的季節性情感混亂，在特拉華州健康和公共事業局負責社區心理健康的副主管，馬克.理查德說，這就是典型的受季節變化引發的傷感。

"It's ... called winter depression, and it's often linked to changes in light," he said.
“這個……被稱爲冬季傷感，經常隨着日照變化。”他說道。

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, between 4% and 6% of people in the United States suffer from SAD. Another 10% to 20% may experience a mild form of the condition in late fall or early toms include a loss of energy, loss of interest in favorite activities, anxiety and changes in sleep and appetite, Richman said.
根據美國家庭醫生學會所提供的資料，大約有4%到6%的美國人得過這種傷感。另外10%到20%的可能在初冬或者冬末有過輕度的消沉。症狀包括缺乏活力，對喜愛的運動不感興趣，焦慮，在睡眠和慾望上變化。理查德說道。But the condition is treatable, according to Dr. Michael Hurd, a psychotherapist in Ocean View."Take some trips to sunnier and warmer places in winter, plan activities to keep the weeks busy and full, and begin or intensify exercise," he said. "Try to change (your) attitude and look at the good sides to winter and shorter days."
但是這種病況是可以治療的，麥克.赫德博士，海典灣（臺譯）的心理學家解釋了這一情況。“在冬天到那些陽光明媚，溫暖的地方去旅遊，計劃好運動保證在這幾周裏繁忙充實，加強鍛鍊。”他說，“試着改變你對冬日，缺少白晝的成見，對此要看到積極地一面。”

Gina Hall, owner of Energy Gym in Fenwick Island, said visiting a fitness facility can improve someone's mental state. Members make friends, feel good about doing something positive for themselves and get out of the house."There's a positive energy and attitude in the gym," she said.
吉娜.霍爾，是坐落於芬威克島上能量健身房的業主說，遇到一臺適宜的健身器材能提升自身心理水平。會員彼此結交朋友，從明確自身的事情中獲得良好感覺，避免家裏蹲。“在健身房有積極的活力和態度。”她說道。

Those who believe they are affected by SAD should visit a medical professional, Richman said. Ultimately, getting outside and enjoying the sunshine could be the best medicine.
那些相信自己患上冬季憂慮的人們應該拜訪醫學專業人士，理查德說，最終的結果是外出活動享受陽光纔是最好的藥物。

"Everyone gets a little stir-crazy (in the winter)," he said. "That's a normal part of living."
“（在冬天）每個人可以精神失常一下，”他說。“這是生活中平凡的一部分。”
