With the onset of autumn and the advent of the first cold weather, many people are saddened. It rains, landscapes become more gloomy, the sun is not enough. A sad mood makes it difficult to enjoy life. People prone to depression experience a breakdown.
The well-being of a person depends on the duration of daylight hours and on solar activity. Due to seasonal changes, our hormonal background is changing. The production of the “hormone of joy and pleasure”, serotonin, is reduced. At the same time, the production of the hormone melatonin is increased, and it has sleeping pills. Therefore, we experience a state of "inhibition", a decrease in vitality.
People are affected by the autumn blues to varying degrees, but changes affect everyone. In the fall, immunity is weakened, faster fatigue appears, and due to a lack of sunlight, we lack vitamin D.
