Dubai Psychologist Answers"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em>If you find yourself mulling an excuse to get out of work when it\u2019s raining \u2013 you are quite normal. Think of it the effect of \u2018climate change\u2019. If you are struck by it, you are bound to feel the effects the entire day. Slots of a type of weather can elicit certain responses \u2013 in case of cold weather, for instance, scientists discovered something called \u201cSeasonal Affective Disorder\u201d, which is characterized by more pronounced low mood during winter months.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether this effect can be seen in briefer periods of dull weather is not as well established. It seems plausible that weather-related disruption to routines and activities that are protective with regard to mental health could be a contributory factor to changes in mood,\u201d says Dr Harry Horgan, Psychologist, German Neuroscience Center.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s a look at what you could be going through.<\/p>\n<h2>It just feels colder<\/h2>\n<p>Watching the rain make paintings on window panes can be a soothing activity, but it can also cause shivers. Temperatures drop when the rains come-a-calling, or they would if you were outside. That change in heat perception can do two things \u2013 a) trick your body into craving warm, comfort food and b) lull you back into a lethargic stupor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch weather can also trigger binge eating habits and the desire to eat warm, comfort foods. While temperatures are not that low, our brain tells us that rain means cold and discomfort. This creates a desire for warm foods. As people spend more time indoors during the rainy weather, they have easy accessibility to snacks and screen time,\u201d explains Sneha John, Child &amp; Adult Psychologist, LifeWorks Holistic Counselling Centre.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s a time out<\/h2>\n<p>For all the wonderful feelings it brings, the rains also mean a practical, physical stutter \u2013 they mean a stranding at an otherwise activity-filled moment. \u201cWe tend to get bored easily with being indoors and having restricted mobility. Boredom may cause people to get involved in a vicious cycle of over-thinking and self-blame. As a result, we feel low, unmotivated and procrastinate more. Dark and gloomy outside, can increase susceptibility of feeling lonely and sad. Amongst the most common emotion, low self-esteem is the most common. Studies have also found that there is a link between rainy weather and impulsive and risky behaviours. This could be attributed to the rise in humidity which has an effect on the serotonin levels in our brain. The serotonin is a hormone responsible for mood elevation,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<h2>Colour therapy<\/h2>\n<p>Healers the world over \u2013 not to mention advertising \u2013 have benefitted from using colour to foreshadow an action. So while some tout that blue will make you feel more serene and red on a button will make you want to push it, we ask that you consider Mother Nature\u2019s therapy sessions: grey skies and greyer moods? The bright blue that peeks behind the dark clouds \u2013 they herald a rainbow. Maybe the rain is the precursor to a happier day \u2013 but while it\u2019s happening, it\u2019s making you feel low?<\/p>\n<h2>Nostalgia works<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a trick of the mind or rankle of the heart, nostalgia is embedded into most of our actions. So remember those rainy days in your childhood \u2013 drinking tea, eating samosas? \u2013 it all comes back as the rain starts to pitter-patter down. The longing for a time that once was \u2013 it\u2019s enough to get anyone day dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full original article in <a href=\"https:\/\/gulfnews.com\/uae\/weather\/uae-is-the-rain-making-you-moody-1.1574270751278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gulf News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you find yourself mulling an excuse to get out of work when it\u2019s raining \u2013 you are quite normal.
