Autumn Season.. How Does It Affect Our Mood?
With shorter days and declining sunlight, researchers link autumn to mood fluctuations and increased anxiety.
Many people welcome autumn because of its warm colors and calm atmosphere, but for another group of people, this season can be a difficult period with mood swings and high levels of anxiety and stress.
Researchers link this phenomenon to shorter daylight hours and a decrease in the amount of natural light as autumn enters, which studies suggest may affect the mental health of people who are more sensitive to these seasonal changes.
Scientific explanations for the phenomenon
Mental health professionals explain this phenomenon, sometimes known as seasonal mood disorder, by being associated with reduced exposure to sunlight, which affects the release of certain hormones associated with mood regulation and sleep within the body.
Symptoms associated with this condition include fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, and some people tend to withdraw and withdraw from normal social activities as autumn and winter enter.
Specialists advise people who notice these symptoms to see a mental health professional to accurately assess their condition, especially if the symptoms significantly affect their daily life or last for long periods during this semester.
