Humidity, pollen and heat: psychiatrist reveals what triggers summer depression
Summer is the season that many people love. During this period, you can admire the blooming of various plants, sunbathe in the sun and swim in ponds.
But not everyone associates the hot season with joy.
The thing is, some people feel depressed at this time due to seasonal depression.
Psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal told the Washington Post about what makes summer depression different.
He noted that heat, high humidity, and pollen allergies have a negative impact on the psyche.
In addition, bright sunlight, as the doctor said, causes negative thoughts in some people.
Rosenthal also talked about how summer depression differs from winter depression.
According to the doctor, in the latter case, a person sleeps more, overeats more often, and complains of lethargy. If we talk about summer, then insomnia usually bothers, and appetite decreases.
