Minagawa ( @minagawa_osamu ) is in good mental condition when the weather is nice, and the depressive symptoms get worse when the weather is bad .
Well, it doesn't matter if you're not depressed that your physical condition changes depending on the weather, it's like Rainy Blue. Rain tends to make you feel depressed, but I think it's a little harder for depressed people.
Of course, it seems that not all people with depression do so, but after all, the atmospheric pressure becomes low due to rain, etc. Symptoms seem to get worse.
It doesn't seem to be the case, but it seems that the symptoms of depression worsen due to low atmospheric pressure such as rain, and the inability to keep up with sudden changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature, which affects mental health.
There seems to be a scientific reason why depressive symptoms worsen on rainy days
For example, when you go on an excursion to the top of a mountain with low atmospheric pressure, the bag of potato chips you brought may become a bun.
That is because the pressure to hold down the air inside the potato bag from the outside is reduced due to the decrease in the outside air pressure, and the potato bag is inflated.
In the human body, when the atmospheric pressure drops, it is a rainy day, that is, when the atmospheric pressure drops, the water contained in the cells held down at the normal atmospheric pressure expands like the decrease in potato chips on the mountain, and there are problems here and there. come out.
It feels like you'll get mild altitude sickness.
Blood previously made to depression and flow is reduced but was a like a story, by compressing the blood vessels and cells to expansion becomes poor blood flow, oxygen that is carried to the brain also decreased also decreased brain function, mental It makes the symptoms worse and the depressive symptoms worsen, maybe.
Inevitable but predictable
You can't control the weather, and it's inevitable that your physical condition will change due to the difference in temperature and pressure, so I feel like you can't do the same.
If you can do it, you can check the weather forecast and barometric pressure forecast apps and predict that "maybe the depressive symptoms worsen this day?", So keep your body cool in preparation for that. It's a good idea to make preparations or make a schedule to avoid unnecessary going out.
