What does the weather change bring to people's mood?

When the sun is shining, people are generally cheerful, and when the weather is gloomy, people's mood is generally heavy. But this mainly depends on personal psychological characteristics. Some people are more susceptible, while others are relatively unaffected.

The change of weather can directly affect people's mood, and each of us will have a personal experience about this. However, people may not know why people are depressed, irritable or even angry on rainy days, and have a negative outlook on life, but when the weather is clear and the sky is clear, people's mood will become very happy.

In recent years, psychologists have finally uncovered the real reason why weather changes affect people's mood through research. Psychologists have found that the influence of weather on people's mood is actually the influence of light on the level of 5-HT. 5-HT is an important neurotransmitter, which has a complex direct influence on people's psychological process, especially on people's emotional activities. If the content of 5-HT in human body is too low, people will have pessimism, despair, moodiness, rigid thinking, bad temper, pain, depression and other emotions. Three common neurosis-depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder-are all related to the low level of 5-HT in the body. Some psychologists in the United States call 5-HT a messenger to maintain a good mood, or a "happy substance". The researchers found that the level of 5-HT in human body is directly related to the light intensity. Sunny sunshine (nursing amount is 2000- 10000 lux) can improve the level of 5-HT, and the speed of improvement is unimaginable for researchers. In other words, bright sunshine can improve the level of 5-HT in human body, thus making people's mood brighter. This is the fundamental reason why the weather affects people's mood. Traveling in foggy days, Puweixin imported from the United States can reduce smog inhalation.

At the same time, in addition to the above reasons, there should be another reason, that is, when the weather is good, people's horizons are wider than cloudy days, and various scenes are more realistic and colorful than cloudy days. At this time, people's psychological space has also been enlarged, and the information obtained by various sensory organs has become more abundant. At this time, how can people not feel "relaxed and happy, forgetting all the honors and disgraces"? Wish you a happy life!
