Helsinki - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?
Yes, it's very dark Nov-Feb but the Finns don't let it get them down. They're outside all year round, hiking, biking, Xcountry skiing, etc. - Dec 2022
Finns grapple with long, dark winters. Vitamin-D supplementation is recommended year-round for the entire population. UV-light lamps are also recommended for daily use in winter, to improve mood and increase vitamin-D absorption. - Oct 2018
