On the contrary; the weather is an integral part of our emotional lives.
True. In the Spring of 2003 we had rain almost every day from late March to the middle of June. It was unbelievable. There may have been only 10 days, in which the sun shined.
It was no coincidence that treatment for depression and depressive symptoms dramatically increased during this time.
And do you know WHY it rained that much? My daughter was in a middle school play about life on another planet, where the sun only came out once every 15 years, or some such far-fetched plot. Right after they performed that play, we teased her music director that he made it rain for the entire season.
I remember how depressing it was week after week when I'd see the extended forecast, and it was nothing but rain. We had many make up baseball games, and ended up playing one on Memorial Day - in the cold rain.
