Although my seasonal preferences and dislike of hot weather and glaring light remain, my seasonal mood problems have improved immensely as my mood stability has improved through meds.
I can recognize now that what I'm prone to in the summer is a kind of mixed-state bipolar cycling. I'm BP II, more of a depressive, have never had full-blown mania, but I have had seriously bad agitated hypomanic depression that qualifies as mixed-state.
I'm now taking Abilify as a mood stabilizer and it's really cut the mixed-state crap.
Here's a link to an article about reverse SAD that I was interviewed for in the NY Times several years ago:
