Why is people's mood related to the weather?

Weather changes not only affect people's health, but also have an important impact on people's psychological activities. Good meteorological conditions can make people feel high and comfortable, improve their quality of life and work efficiency; Moreover, bad weather conditions can make people depressed, bored, lazy, listless, and even lead to mental and behavioral abnormalities. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the "El Nino phenomenon" of 1982- 1983 caused about 654.38+million people to suffer from depression, and the incidence of mental illness and traffic accidents increased greatly.

In cold season, insufficient sunshine reduces the secretion of human pineal gland, which increases the concentration of thyroxine and adrenaline; In rainy weather and bad weather, the pineal gland of human body secretes more hormones, and the concentrations of thyroxine and adrenaline are relatively reduced. Thyroxine and epinephrine can promote cell metabolism, increase oxygen consumption and stimulate tissue growth, maturation and differentiation. Therefore, the weather is closely related to people's emotional state.
