Recent research has linked Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD: the winter-time blues) to vitamin D deficiency. Get some sunshine or supplement with vitamin D3, just to be sure.
On a more general note, lack of vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients, and polyphenols can all play a role in mood as can a calorie restricted diet. The mental depression that accompanies a slow down in metabolism is an evolutionary link that restricts activity in the presence of potential starvation.
Also, the blood sugar roller coaster of a high carb diet can play havoc with your mood.
Always keep your macros appropriately balanced to your activity level. Don't overly restrict calories. Always eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.
