Autumn has always been associated with a melancholy and somewhat sad period. The truth is, the fact that it’s the season after summer, and before winter, doesn’t help much. And movies and books don’t help either, where the fall season is often associated with feelings like sadness and nostalgia.
Not only that: the days are getting shorter, the temperatures are lowering more and more and the shy sun rarely shines between the fog and the gray sky. Result? Emotional instability, sleepiness, difficulty waking up in the morning, low motivation at work and physical activity, and difficulty concentrating.
These are all symptoms of what experts call “Winter Blues”, which is a mood disorder that is scientifically called SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder.
According to research by National Institute of Mental Health, of Winter Blues suffer four times more women than men.
For this reason, experts advise to improve one’s physical and psychological well-being with a healthy diet and a good dose of physical activity, possibly in the open air, which allows the body to release endorphins, precious allies to obtain large quantities of serotonin which helps to feel more energetic and positive.
What else to do? Carve out a few hours and escape to the SPA! There are several treatments which, through the use of particular products, aromatherapy essences, soothing manual skills and innovative technologies, can help to chase away sadness, melancholy and find the right amount of energy necessary to face the change of season.
