Some periods of the year can be difficult for your partner. You can be attentive without assuming you know the cause or treating a seasonal pattern as a diagnosis you can make from a distance.
Ask about their experience
Notice gently that they seem to be having a harder time and ask what they have observed. Let them describe the pattern in their own words. Avoid explaining their feelings through the weather or season before they have had a chance to speak.
Offer ordinary support
A shorter call, help making a manageable plan, or company during a familiar activity may be welcome. Protect sleep and leave room for local relationships. Ask what helps rather than prescribing a specific routine, supplement, or treatment.
Encourage professional care when needed
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, or difficulty functioning deserves attention from a qualified professional. If someone may be in immediate danger, seek local emergency support. Your care matters, but you do not have to become their only source of help.
During a better moment, discuss which plans can become smaller when energy is low and who else your partner can reach out to.
