Changes of humor: Is November the darkest month of the year?

Few weeks remain until the holidays arrive, but during this time we still have to face November, which is considered one of the darkest, grayest months of the year.

“There is nothing to wait for”

Beyond the weather, which is generally sensitive, the month November has nothing exciting to expect. In September we have the return of children to school, in October the world awaits Halloween and, in December, the holiday season. If we were to refer to scientific studies, experts call November a long, hot month.

The clock has changed, the days are shorter, it is getting colder, and it still takes time to take the winter vacation. For some people, November is the most challenging month in terms of stress, anxiety, or depression. A Danish study released last year after research conducted concluded that through 1995-2012, the number of people diagnosed with depression increased by 11% every November.

November marks the beginning of a long period of short days, a little sun, and cold weather, which affects each of us ' mood.

How can you avoid feeling too much?

Physical activity is the best weapon to cope with mood swings in winter. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, carbs, etc., etc. would be very good for your immune system.

Be sure to expose as much as possible in the sun. Along with work, take a few minutes off to take a short walk outside when there is still sun. At the end of all of this, no matter what the studies say, admit it's just November and the beginning of a new winter.
