For a lot of people, cloudy skies bring sadness, anger, and depression. Many people’s social media posts take on an angry tone on days when it rains constantly. Is there any way to change this? Tecsia Evans, a clinical psychologist from the US, says that instead of turning off the lights and staying inside, people should leave the lights on because this increases serotonin, a chemical in the body that is key to feeling good.
對很多人來說，陰天會帶來傷心、憤怒和憂鬱的感覺。在那些雨下個不停的日子裡，很多人的社群媒體貼文都帶有憤怒的語氣。有任何方法能改變這種情況嗎？美國一位臨床心理學家泰希亞．艾文思說，與其關著燈待在室內，人們應該把燈開著，因為這能增加血清素（體內一種能使人有好心情的關鍵化學物質）。
