Will the weather change with people's mood?

■ 30% people feel the change of the weather.

■ Women are more sensitive to weather changes than men.

■ The older you get, the more vulnerable you are to the weather.

■ People living in the tropics are irritable, and the cold zone is a high incidence area for depression. ...

"Meteorological disease" is approaching you.

If the sun is shining, the air is humid and the breeze is blowing gently today, you will feel refreshed and relaxed, right? If it rains for ten days in a row, will you feel inexplicably depressed? We can't simply attribute this emotional change to sentimentality. Because scientists have found that in areas with particularly cold climate, people's mood will be obviously depressed and depressed in winter, and the main reason for depression is the lack of sunshine. At the same time, it will be easy to get tired, sleep too much, and like to eat a lot of foods containing carbohydrates.

The formation of a person's personality is directly related to the climate in the area where he lives-people who live in tropical areas for a long time have a bad temper. The cold area with high latitude, cold climate and few sunshine is the high incidence area of depression. In a water town with humid climate and full of vitality, people will be affectionate and responsive. The herdsmen on the grassland are generous, and the people in the mountains are generous.

According to a data of the World Health Organization, the El Niñ o phenomenon of 1982- 1983 caused about 654.38+million people to suffer from depression, the incidence of mental illness increased by 38%, and traffic accidents increased by at least 5,000 times. The reason is that global climate anomalies and weather disasters exceed the psychological endurance of some people.

Psychotherapists find that people's mood is more or less affected by the weather. If a person reacts strongly to the stimulation of weather changes, especially bad weather, he will show various uncomfortable symptoms: fatigue, weakness, forgetfulness, stars, nervousness, depression, listlessness at work, reduced work efficiency, poor sleep, migraine, inattention, fear, sweating, chills, loss of appetite, frequent urination, sensory organ disorder, gastrointestinal dysfunction, nervousness and so on. Then he may have "meteorological disease".

In fact, in times of economic difficulties or war, people generally complain less about the weather, but in the past few decades, it has shown an increasing trend. On the one hand, this may be due to the unstable weather, on the other hand, it may also be due to our modern lifestyle-all kinds of physical and mental burdens, nervousness, sleeping and eating habits, tobacco and alcohol consumption, holidays with no recuperation value, and fast-paced work. These factors increase the environmental pressure and reduce our adaptability to natural influences. Thus, the unique civilization disease of modern society: meteorological disease. Some data show that this disease accounts for about 50%-70% of the total population in developed countries.

Five factors determining weather sensitivity

First of all, gender-women are more sensitive.

Women are more aware of the weather changes, and they complain about the physical discomfort caused by the weather more often than men. The survey found that the perception difference of weather between men and women exists in almost all age groups. This difference increases with age and reaches the maximum when women enter menopause. After the age of 60, the difference between men's and women's reactions decreases accordingly.

For women, the biggest difference lies in fatigue, tension, sleep, disorder of blood circulation and autonomic nervous system, headache, depression and fear. Generally speaking, women are more sensitive to weather changes and have greater reaction intensity than men.

Second, age-middle-aged people have the strongest reaction.

Age is the most important factor to determine the intensity of weather change. Even babies and children will be affected by the weather. Their reactions to meteorological factors are mainly manifested as bad mood, fidgeting, crying, quarreling, fatigue, lack of interest in playing, poor sleep, diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite.

Statistics show that people's sensitivity to the weather is increasing in the first 20 years of their lives. About one-third of middle-aged people have obvious feelings about weather changes. When women reach menopause, about half will complain about the weather. But after the age of 60, the frequency of sensitivity to weather changes began to drop to between 30% and 50%. Third, physique-a direction that is still being studied in depth.

The strength of response to weather changes should be related to people's temperament and body fluids. Although people still think that the relationship between constitution types and weather is uncertain, in the past few decades, people have been trying to develop a bio-meteorological typology which is mainly based on constitution types and can be applied to psychiatry.

Fourth, personality-cowards should pay special attention.

If you find yourself more prone to emotional instability, pessimism, self-denial, irritability, excitability, shyness, difficulties in interpersonal communication, stage fright and depression than the average person, you will often feel the weather change more strongly than others.

Social class-the "two-headed" class is afraid of weather changes.

Social elites and the poor should be careful, because this high and low class, at both ends of society, is most vulnerable to the weather, while the middle class is least affected. In adverse weather, people in the upper class often have symptoms such as inattention, mood swings, heart and blood circulation diseases, aggravated pain and general unwillingness to work. People at the bottom often feel exhausted, exhausted, heart and circulatory disorders, rheumatism and fractures. The middle class is more likely to complain about fatigue and mistakes at work.

How many degrees can the weather affect you?

Experts believe that when a cold wave strikes, or a typhoon crosses the border, or the temperature drops sharply, or there is strong wind, fog, rainy weather and so on. If healthy people have symptoms such as depression, fatigue, insomnia, headache, irritability, anxiety, loss of appetite, etc. But there is no other reason, and whenever the weather changes and similar symptoms appear, it can basically be diagnosed as "meteorological disease".

But different people's instinctive reactions to weather changes are very different. According to different reactions, experts divide people into three types.

A, mild-mild fluctuation type

Such people will not feel pain when the weather changes, but their mood and health will fluctuate.

Second, moderate-unstable type

The autonomic nervous system of this kind of person is not stable enough. Their response to bad weather stimuli is stronger and earlier than that of the first group. When the weather changes suddenly, they will feel headache, sleep badly, feel tired, be in a bad mood and get excited easily. May not be able to concentrate; Drink only a small amount of wine, and there will be a reaction after drinking; When driving, you will also show slower reaction than usual. According to the survey, about 60% people feel that they belong to this type. Even according to the very strict standards of bioclimatology, one third of people belong to this type.

Third, severe sensitivity

These people are usually patients, who may suffer from cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis or have suffered from fractures and other injuries. When the weather suddenly turns cold or hot, they may feel the pain of the wound or the aggravation of chronic diseases.
