According to scientists, this month will have the saddest and most depressing day of the year.
A group of American researchers determined that January 21 is the most depressing day of the year.
This conclusion was reached by Cliff Arnall, a researcher at Cardiff University in the USA in 2005. He stated that people are most depressed on this day. His observations were later confirmed by other specialists.
Experts explain that this day may vary for people in different countries, but the majority of people feel fatigue, apathy, irritability, and face bad moods and sad thoughts.
Experts explain that by this day, New Year and Christmas holidays end. The euphoria of celebrations diminishes and everything returns to normal, people realize that they are quite tired, have spent a lot of money, gained extra weight, etc.
As a result, many start eagerly awaiting their salaries, which affects their psychological state. In turn, their well-being is influenced by the absence of sunlight and cold weather.
By the way, this day is also celebrated as World Hug Day. It is customary on this holiday to hug, be sincere, and try to give warmth to others. The overlap of these two holidays is probably not a coincidence. According to scientists, hugs help people cope with negative emotions and stress, and on the most depressing day of the year, this is very beneficial. (lent.az)
