High temperature aggravate mental symptoms!Good mood remind patients to do 10 protection for 10 points

The "Boiling Model" is opened. How hot can this summer?

It is the degree of "buying live shrimp to get home."

The high temperature time has lasted 30 days, affecting the population of more than 900 million people, and 71 meteorological stations broke through the historical pole value. In the face of a high temperature that costs more than 40 degrees, do you still feel that it is just "heat" and "anxious"?

It's not just that.

Studies have found that high temperature will increase mental symptoms and cause death in severe cases.

How does high temperature affect your brain and behavior?

What is the relationship between high temperature weather and mental psychology?

In the hot summer, how can patients with mental illness do a good job of protecting?

Let ’s take a look with Xiaobian with a good mood:

High temperature weather can cause mental health deterioration

When our environmental temperature is between 20 ° C and 24 ° C, people will feel more comfortable and happy.

However, with the rise of temperature, human spirit and behavior will change; more and more evidence shows that high temperature weather (temperature exceeding 35 ° C) will affect our emotions and behaviors and increase mental symptoms.

High temperature aggravation of emotional issues

High temperature affects the nerve and spiritual system, making people feel more energetic, stressed, and unhappy, increasing people's negative emotions and fatigue. The risk of risks to the emergency department due to high temperature weather had related health problems due to high temperature weather.

A research data in Australia shows that when the temperature is above 26.7 ° C, the higher the temperature, the more people with mental and behavioral problems, and the total diagnosis of psychological diseases increases by 7%. Compared with non -high temperature weather, the number of hospitalizations in high temperature weather increased by 7.3%, of which the main diseases are: emotional disorders (such as depression, bad mood, mania, and bipolar emotional disorders), and stress -related mental disorders (such as anxiety such as anxiety Diseases, square phobia, obsessive -compulsive disorder and post -trauma stress disorder).

Violence incidents rose with the temperature

Many scientific research proves that high temperatures are related to the increase in aggressive behaviors and domestic violence, and to a certain extent, they have given birth to violent crimes.

1. The higher the temperature, the more violent murders.

Foreign studies have shown that the murder will increase with the rise of temperature.

Scientists have found that every time in South Africa, the number of murders increases by 1.5%every 1 ° C.

In the UK, the violent crime at 20 ° C is 14%more than 10 ° C.

Africa, the United States, Finland, and Spain, southern Sahara, have observed similar relationships between violent crimes and high temperature weather.

2. High temperature weather is more aggressive.

Serumin is an important chemical in the brain that can regulate people's emotions and help boost the spirit. High -temperature weather will affect our serotonin level, increased serotonin secretion in the body, making people more prone to irritability, strong temper, tight interpersonal relationships, and strong aggressive behavior. For example, when the weather is hot, people are more likely to use negative languages, and football players are more likely to have attack behavior.

In addition, the high temperature environment will increase the level of testosterone, making people more aggressive. As the day grows, the weather temperature increases, and sexual assault and domestic violence are increasing.

High -temperature weather damage cognitive function

Excessive temperature can affect people's cognitive function. Studies have shown that high temperatures can reduce the performance of memory testing and damage the ability of the brain. It is also observed that the risk of hospitalization and death in the heat of dementia increases.

Scientists have found that in a short period of time on the head and neck, directly under the direct exposure of high -temperature weather, it will not affect cognitive function, but long -term exposure will significantly damage the cognitive function, especially the brain is performing complex and joint campaign recognition of the combined movement. When knowing the task, high temperature exposure will greatly reduce the cognitive function of the brain.

Summer suicide risk increases

More than 1.3 million suicide cases in 12 countries show that higher environmental temperature is related to the increased risk of suicide. In addition, outdoor temperature can also affect the incidence of self -harm.

Patients with psychological diseases are particularly sensitive to extremely high temperatures. In summer, their symptoms may be aggravated and even killed in advance.

Patients with mental illness are more likely to be affected by high temperature weather

High temperature has a significant impact on mental health, and people with mental illness are more likely to be affected by heat waves.

Why are patients with mental illness more vulnerable to injury?

Many patients with mental illness have abnormal body temperature regulation. For example, the body temperature regulation of patients with schizophrenia may encounter difficulties, and changes in temperature can change the symptoms of emotional disorders.

In addition, the psychiatric drugs taken will also affect the human body's ability to regulate calories and their awareness of increased body temperature, which is related to damage and death. For example, some antidepressants and anti -psychiatric drugs will affect the body's way to regulate temperature and increase the sensitivity of the body to heat.

At the same time, the self -care ability of patients with mental illness is relatively low, and the living environment may be slightly worse than ordinary people, and it is more difficult to resist the invasion of high -temperature heat waves.

Another thing that cannot be ignored is that in patients with mental illness, we must pay special attention to the situation of the elderly.

Especially elderly people over 65 years old, because of their physical regulation function disorders, etc., the ability to maintain normal body temperature is reduced, so they are more fragile at high temperatures. We must attach great importance to the life care of the elderly during high temperature weather.

Patients with a good mood and mental doctor summarized the "ten suggestions" of the "ten suggestions" of the hot summer.

● 1. Prepare psychological preparations. Summer is a high incidence of mental illness. Patients and family members should take "psychological prevention needles" in advance to prevent prevention in advance. ● 2. Pay attention to psychological adjustment. The more popular, the more calm the matter is in the event. When you encounter unpleasant things or feel the pressure increases, you must learn to relieve stress and emotions in a timely manner.

● 3. Be sure to take the medicine on time.

● 4. Do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling. The air -conditioning fan is turned on. Don't be afraid of electricity. If not, it is also good to open the window and ventilation.

● 5. Although we often say that exposure to the sun can help mental health, in the summer, we must try to avoid direct sunlight. When you go out, wear a hat, wear sunscreen, etc. to reduce your head and neck directly exposed to the sun.

● 6. Properly replenish moisture. It should be loose and comfortable to help the body.

● 7. Combination of labor and rest, you can rest more at high temperature weather to minimize going out.

● 8. In terms of diet, eat more light food, eat less spicy, irritating or easy to get angry. Don't drink.

● 9. Regular work and rest, keep adequate sleep. Don't stay up late because you become longer. If you can't sleep well at night, you can take a break for about half an hour at noon. Resting helps to suppress negative emotions.

● 10. When the condition fluctuates, you should go to the mental psychological specialist hospital for consultation or consultation in time.
