Every spring, many people face unexplained fatigue, mood swings, outbursts of aggression or sudden infatuation. This is not mysticism - it's the work of hormones.
When the day becomes longer and there's more sun, the level of melatonin (sleep hormone) decreases in the body and serotonin - the happiness hormone - increases sharply. But against the background of vitamin deficiency, weakened immunity and pressure fluctuations, this can cause:
constant fatigue and apathy;
irritability;
worsening of depression and anxiety.
💬 "Spring acts as a stress factor: biorhythms are restructuring, and the nervous system reacts more acutely," explains psychiatrist Elena Solovyova.
Spring sees a peak in divorces, resignations and spontaneous life decisions. Hormones are to blame for this:
testosterone and estrogen increase - enhancing sexual desire, romanticism, and craving for novelty;
dopamine makes you take risks and change the familiar.
The result - spring romances, relocations, and dramatic breakups.
