Bradley Seymour, associate teaching professor of psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences, was quoted in a Pop Sugar article titled, "How to Manage Seasonal Affective Disorder, According to Mental Health Experts."

In the article, Seymour recommends consuming foods high in vitamin D to help compensate for the deficiency caused by reduced sunlight exposure during the winter months.

He suggests incorporating foods like fatty fishes, kale, mushrooms, orange juice and dairy milk to to boost vitamin D levels.
