[QUOTE="Chas1, post: 342617, member: 15738"] The number of alcoholics is pretty high in Alaska and Alaska leads the country in suicides...do you think this could be linked to long dark winters+weather wise it's just a tough place to live...which maybe can cause depression. Any thoughts? I remember watching a documentary maybe 5-10 years ago where they talked about the suicide rates are higher generally across the country in winter and some study or studies had shown that there's a chemical or something produced in the brain either more or less based on the amount of sunlight. As an experiment they exposed patients to artificail sunlight for 8 hours a day and noted depression rates declined amongst that group. As a footnote Utah ranked 7th highest in suicides...so who knows. [/QUOTE]
