Synthetic sunshine, possibly. The evidence for efficacy is weak, but it's relatively cheap and harmless.

2nd for a SAD lamp. I know a couple of people who use them. You sit in front of a pretty bright light for 30 mins or so, doing whatever you would normally do.
I’ve found that having a smart bulb to wake me up in the morning helps keep me in a better mood. It took several tries but I’ve set up a bulb to light up incrementally, instead of just turning on in my face (which even at the lowest setting wasn’t a gentle wake up).

Depression thread but I doubt there's anything you haven't heard before. Megadose vitamin D, SAD lamp, get regular outdoor exercise, etc etc.
Alternatively, you could simply "change your mindset" like this moronic article suggests https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/sep/26/dreading-a-dark-winter-lockdown-think-like-a-norwegian

Does anyone have any tips for helping with seasonal mood changes?
I wouldn't go so far as saying I have SAD, but I do find it hard being in this country over winter.
I'm taking vitamin D. Is there anything else that can help?
I almost wonder if it's worth a thread?
Cheers.
