DEPRESSION LIKES THE WINTER MONTHS THE MOST

The complaints that cause depression increase during the winter period in Turkey, “The complaints that we mentioned earlier in the winter period we are in are starting to be raised more intensively. The factor affecting this is the weather conditions that accompany the lack of activity. Even if we get enough sleep in winter, when the nights get longer and the days are short and we don’t get enough sunlight, we feel tired and sluggish, even if we get enough sleep, even if we get enough nutrition. The hormone melotonin, which ensures our Sleep-wake balance, increases its production due to this imbalance and causes us to become sleepy and tired. In addition to complaining of fatigue, an increase in melatonin causes a decrease in the hormone serotonin.

As is well known, the hormone serotonin is one of the most important factors supporting our mental well-being. Therefore, in addition to fatigue, we transfer also face a situation of not feeling well,” he said.
