‌民间有句俗语：“菜花黄，疯子忙”‌。

说的是每年‌春季油菜花盛开时，是‌精神类疾病的高发期‌，人们情绪易波动、病情易复发 。‌‌

实际上，这不是我们的问题，而是春天来临的“副产品”。



科学研究证明，春天患上抑郁症的风险会更大。

One of the major reasons people may feel more depressed and anxious in the springtime is simply because of change. For some people, change feels like an exciting opportunity, while others may feel an intense instability in their lives. Change in the weather, and change in daily routines can all produce overwhelming anxiety.

人们在春天感到更沮丧和焦虑的主要原因之一就是变化。对某些人来说，变化是令人兴奋的机遇，而其他人可能会觉得生活中出现了强烈不稳定。天气的变化和日常生活的变化都可能产生压倒性的焦虑。

instability n 不稳定 （in- + stable + -ility）

overwhelming adj 巨大的，极大的

Other factors may be physiological. Many people experience spring allergies(过敏), where our immune systems are working twice as hard to feel twice as crumby(低劣的) for days on end. Our bodies and our minds might feel helplessly depleted(耗尽) during the height of hay fever.

其他因素可能是生理上的。很多人有春季过敏的经历，我们的免疫系统会连续几天里加倍努力地工作。在花粉热最严重的时候，我们的身体和头脑可能会无助地感到疲劳。

physiological /ˌfɪz.i.əˈlɒdʒ.ɪ.kəl/ 生理学的

for days on end 连续数日

hay fever 枯草热，花粉病(由于吸入空气中的花粉而引起的鼻、眼、喉部的过敏症)

Hormones, specifically melatonin(褪黑激素), might also contribute to mood changes in the springtime. This hormone plays a vital role in regulating our sleep cycles, and any change in this system may produce sleep problems or grogginess(东歪西倒), which is never beneficial to our mental health.

荷尔蒙，特别是褪黑素，也可能导致春季情绪变化。这种激素在调节我们的睡眠周期方面起着至关重要的作用，任何系统的变化都可能导致睡眠问题或昏昏欲睡，这对我们的心理健康都没好处。

plays a vital role 起着至关重要的作用

regulate （尤指使按照某种方式运作而）控制，调节

sleep cycle 睡眠周期

所以，如果你最近心绪难平、上课不能集中注意力、晚上睡眠不好的话，不要太过焦虑，这种季节问题多半会随着季节的结束离开我们。



不过，这里说的是由于季节变化引起的焦虑等心理问题，平时我们还是要重视心理健康，心理健康和身体健康一样重要。

如果要写心理健康方面的建议信，下面这些句子能帮到你：

Maintaining good mental health is just as important as maintaining physical health. In fact, it’s difficult to have one without the other.

保持良好的心理健康和保持身体健康一样重要。事实上，两者缺一不可。

Taking care of our mental health should be a priority as it can affect every aspect of our life, from our mood and motivation to our relationships and work.

应该优先照顾好我们的心理健康，因为心理健康会影响我们生活的方方面面，从我们的情绪和动力到我们的人际关系和工作。
