-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 cold areas are high-risk areas for depression. Water towns make people feel affectionate and alert. ...

"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 lack of sunshine; At the same time, there will be fatigue, excessive sleep and eating 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 bold and unrestrained, while the people in the mountains are generous.

According to a data of the World Health Organization, the El Ni? 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 because the weather is not very stable, on the other hand, it may also be attributed to our modern lifestyle-various physical and mental burdens, mental stress, sleeping and eating habits, tobacco and alcohol consumption, vacations without recuperation value, and fast work pace are also important reasons. 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 have more kinds and intensities of weather perception 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. Among middle-aged people, about 1/3 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%.
