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.
对很多人来说，阴天会带来伤心、愤怒和忧郁的感觉。在那些雨下个不停的日子里，很多人的社群媒体贴文都带有愤怒的语气。有任何方法能改变这种情况吗？美国一位临床心理学家泰希亚．艾文思说，与其关著灯待在室内，人们应该把灯开著，因为这能增加血清素（体内一种能使人有好心情的关键化学物质）。
