Why December and winters are more sad, more depressed and more obsessed even with no apparent cause of feeling gloomy?
People adore recalling their past days and urge to look at their old buddies and relatives in December. Most people start to writing poetry as we observe many poems and songs are written to show the deep dense feelings which are especially attached to December mood.
"In kitabon may ji nhi lgta
hum ko sajni ki yaad ai hai
bheega bheega December hai"
(These books bother me now. I'm just remembering my loved one. This moist December and my soaked loneliness).
A warm cup of coffee/tea, moist in the air, blurred fog and light music takes anyone back to free of worry and full of love college/university days every December. People want to remain lonely, want to speak less and feel less energetic as soon as the days start to become shorter and colder. The change of outside weather effect the inside body moods of Humans. It looks that when the sun hides its face behind fog and snow then humans wan to mask their mood too. "Holiday blues" is another term used to describe depression in holidays.
A big YES! Sun is life for living beings on earth. Have you observed your daily routine charges with sunlight? We wake up fatigued early morning but get energized by reaching our office. The day continues full of hustle-bustle as Mr. Sun is there with its solar energy to charge our batteries. As the sun starts to lower down then our energies follow it. In modern days artificial lights replace the sun’s work in the evening otherwise in older times people used to sleep as soon as the sunset. Sunlight increases the release of a hormone called serotonin which controls your moods. When this chemical is unable to produce enough then it led to a depressive mood.
Sunlight is considered the best therapy to improve mental health. The people who live more indoors from working in enclosed offices without any window sometimes to stay in an inside room of big house fall more to December depression. Second, the people who are less social and follow routine activities feel fatigued in December. Few of our brain chemicals change their concentration when there is not sufficient sunlight.
