The monsoon season looks so pleasant. Whether it rains or not, it is certain that Haiyu was happy to see Vari falling from the sky. However, the fact that an average of five to six percent of people become depressed during the monsoon season cannot be denied.

One wonders how one can get depressed in such a romantic season. But experts say the reason is that the monsoon is mostly cloudy. As a result, the sun's rays are blocked. And when we don't get enough light and sunlight, our body's biological clock is disrupted. The levels of chemicals in our nervous system called serotonin and melatonin are unbalanced. These changes are more common in women, children and adults. It causes them to become depressed. They become irritable. They are surrounded by sadness, frustration. His memory is also affected by depression. He further says that usually five to six per cent people fall into such mental state during the monsoon season.

People with a positive effect experience thrills in the rainy season while those with a negative effect become lethargic. They like to be alone, to sleep. And people who are already depressed experience depression very quickly. If a person is plunged into depression, he may even think of committing suicide. Such severe depression is more common in women than in men. If the cloud thunders or the lightning flashes, the patient becomes restless.

Getting up in the morning to avoid this type of depression gives deep breathing, yoga, walking, exercise relief. Psychologists say that in addition to doing these activities in the morning, it is beneficial to be with people who have a positive mindset during the day. At least eight hours of deep sleep is also a relief in cases of depression. Getting enough sleep makes you feel refreshed. If it is not raining and the sun is shining, go for a walk.
