I definitely notice that my mood is significantly affected when it's gray and dark out, but it'd be a bit much to call it a disorder. When the sun is out, it's (reasonably) warm outside, and the sun doesn't set at 17:00, the world just feels like a happier place. In the winter I feel locked inside due to the cold and darkness. The bright light just lifts my mood it seems.
