Why does spring upset us?

With the beginning of the spring season we feel more energetic, more positive, happy and we remember that popular saying of "spring alters blood" with a smile. But why does it occur?

The explanation is pure chemistry : spring favors the release of well-known hormones such as oxytocin (hormone of love), dopamine (hormone of pleasure and motivation), serotonin (mood), norepinephrine (relieves stress) or pheromones (the hormones of attraction). All of them together influence our mood to be more advantageous and that we feel a greater sexual desire.

The rise in hormones related to sexual attraction thanks to the increase in light and temperature in the environment , causes changes in flowering, pollination and atmospheric pressure, which in turn leads to imbalances in neurotransmitters and hormones of the human being. Spending more time away from home and wearing a lighter wardrobe are two characteristics that help us to feel that increase in sexual desire.

In any case, everyone is not affected in the same way by the arrival of this season, since within this positive facet or spring euphoria there is also the most negative facet or spring asthenia, which causes those who suffer sadness, fatigue or even insomnia.
