Health and Wellness: Longer Nights Can Cause Mental Health Plight

People feel pressurized and sad in winters. This is known as season affective disorder and it has some symptoms. These are depression, mood swing, overeating and even sleep problems.

People with such disease show that weather can affect a person mentally as well as physically. This shows that winters have a very heavy effect on a person's mood. Less amount of sunlight causes serotonin.

Serotonin causes depression. Most people affected have age groups from 20 to 30 and majority are women. People are stressed out from the day's work, then less amount of light worsens the situation even more.

Sleeping late and then waking up early can damage a person mentally as well as physically. The winter in which nights are longer than days, damage a human being a lot The less the light, the more the depression will be and this fact has been proven through facts.

To fight bouts of sadness, people must have self-awareness as The News says. If a person knows what's going on and is in contact with his surroundings, he will have less time to concentrate on overthinking.
People sometimes feel shame when sharing such things with their families or friends and keep it to themselves. It actually just ruins things a lot more.

People should talk to their doctor, friends or a doctor whoever they feel comfortable with. One needs to open up, talk about it. He should let his feelings out to reduce the amount of pressure on one's brain.

As The Community Milestones also says, mental fitness is important very much to continue life with harmony. The mood swings with weather changes are pretty much common; people want a normal life but worry over even if there is a slight change.

They overthink about it and do not discuss it with someone too, that is why hospitals, rehabs, and certain organizations are working to improve these issues.
