What happens to your brain when the days get darker? - video

He explains what scientists think the mechanism for the condition could be and what the evidence says about the best way to tackle it.In the UK and Ireland, Samaritans can be contacted on freephone 116 123. In the US, you can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is 13 11 14.
