A healthy lifestyle, regular sleep-wake schedule, and timely recognition and treatment of mood disorders can all help to mitigate the impact of weather-related mood changes, the doctor said. In clinical depression, one of the key biological symptoms is worsening mood and lethargy, particularly in the morning hours. This is particularly true for individuals with SAD, who may experience hypomania or mania during the summer months and depression during the winter months," Dr Malhotra said. Conversely, during the summer months, longer days and increased exposure to sunlight can lead to a sense of euphoria and heightened activity levels. "During the winter months, shorter days and reduced exposure to sunlight can lead to depression, lethargy, and a general feeling of malaise. The hypothalamus functions like a biological clock, and it tries to synchronize our inner self, timing, sleep-wake cycle, and mood with the external environment."Ĭhanges in weather can have a profound impact on our mood and well-being. This rhythm is the natural rhythm between our body and the external environment that we live in. In an interaction with ABP Live, Dr Sameer Malhotra, Director and Head, Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences, Max Multi Speciality Centre, Panchsheel Park and Saket, stated that "The hypothalamus, a small but crucial part of the brain, plays a crucial role in regulating mood, hormones, and circadian rhythm. Weather is known to have a significant impact on our mood, and this connection between the mind and environment is mediated by an array of neurochemicals, hormones, and the immune system. Our emotions and moods are often influenced by external factors, including weather patterns. As humans, we have a complex relationship with the environment around us.
