Shorter daylight hours can affect sleep, productivity and state of mind. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, may help. It uses light boxes emitting full-spectrum light to simulate sunlight.

Please keep in mind the distinction between healing and treatment: treatment originates from outside, whereas healing comes from within.
