Title: Do atmospheric changes affect our moods or physical or emotional well being?
Post by: Karen W. on 09/05/2009 10:12:56
 Well I was not sure where to place this question...
here or in Physiology and medicine?

Just curious as tonigt we have basically a full moon...and my emotions are all over the place.. downside tonight....way down...so can atmospheric changes reek havok with emotions?

Is there something special happening in the skies right now that may be causing changes in my emotions on the low ebb?

 Nothing special is going to happen, it's a day where the gravitional force near the oceans are more,
    I don't really think that, full moon affects or make special today

Would Seasonal affective disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder) count as an "atmospheric change" which affects mood ?

Thanks C4M ..I do recall reading and posting that thread of Paul's....

I mean more on the line of Happy and sad... things that may have huge effects on how one feels especially if there happen to be atmospheric changes happening ..like 3D has posted.. I think that counts as winters here are very long and sometimes move on throughout spring!

RD,  Thanks you make a good point there as the weather is mild now but has been up and Down!

I would think that drastic changes in atmospheric pressure could have an adverse effect on a person's physical well being.
