Why is spring a high season for depression?

Spring is a high season for depression, suicide and other problems for the following reasons:

2. Seasonal Affective Disorder: Spring is the season of high incidence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression associated with seasonal changes, the onset of which is related to environmental factors such as light and temperature. As the weather gets warmer in spring, people are exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, leading to an imbalance of hormone secretion in the brain, which triggers SAD.

3. Stress and anxiety: Spring is the start of a new school year and a new job, and many people are faced with new pressures and challenges. In addition, spring is also the season of many important festivals, such as Valentine's Day and Ching Ming Festival, etc. These festivals may increase people's psychological burden and stress, leading to depression and anxiety.

4. Feeling of loss after vacation: Spring vacation usually ends after Chinese New Year. Many people experience happiness and relaxation during the vacation, but returning to busy work and life after the vacation, they may feel lost and frustrated, which may lead to the emergence of depressive symptoms.

5. The influence of festive seasons: In traditional Chinese culture, spring is divided into the festive seasons of Lichun, rain, hibernation, vernal equinox, and Qingming. Before and during the arrival of these festivals, people may experience mood swings and psychological changes, leading to problems such as depression and suicide.

6. Over-excitement and fatigue: As the weather warms up in spring, people are more likely to go out and spend time with family and friends. However, overexcitement and fatigue can also have a negative impact on the body, leading to problems such as emotional instability and exhaustion, which can lead to problems such as depression and suicide.

7 Economic and social stress: In modern society, spring is also a season of increased economic and social stress for many people. For example, many organizations perform important tasks such as business development and financial audits in the spring, and issues such as overtime and stress may affect the mental health of employees, leading to problems such as depression and suicide.

If patients do not have timely access to medical care, it may affect their mental health and treatment outcomes, which can exacerbate problems such as depression and suicide.

In conclusion, the high incidence of depression, suicide and other problems in spring may be due to a combination of reasons. In preventing and treating these problems, it is necessary to consider all factors and take effective measures to help patients rebuild a healthy mental state.
