“Why do I feel very depressed during the summer?”
I feel extremely low, gloomy and depressed during summer. It happens every year and it really bothers me but I'm not sure what to do about it or how to prevent it.

That's not a typical reaction so there may be something that occurs during summer that is painful or uncomfortable for you; something in your situation may change during summer that is contributing to your feeling depressed. Perhaps seeing a psychologist or therapist might be helpful here.
Assuming you live in an area that is bright and sunny in summer, it’s not Seasonal Affective Disorder. Perhaps an "anniversary reaction" of remembrances of bad/sad times over summers long ago? Think about that possibility - therapy can really help with that.
