~Symptoms of May Disease and Support at the Clinic ~.
The new school year has begun and there are many changes in the environment in spring. April is a time when many people are tense due to new workplaces, schools, or moving house, but around the end of Golden Week, an increasing number of people start to feel discomfort such as "I feel unmotivated," "It is hard to get up in the morning," and "My body feels heavy and sluggish. These are the so-called "May illnesses.
In this issue, we will introduce the causes of May illness, self-care, and the support available at the Ikejiri-Ohashi Sera Clinic.
What is May Disease?
The term "May illness" is not a medical diagnosis, but rather refers to a physical and mental disorder caused mainly by stress and fatigue in early spring. Although it has an image of being common among students and newcomers to the workforce, it is actually a condition that can occur to anyone, regardless of age or occupation.
▼Common Symptoms
- Inability to get up in the morning and strong sleepiness during the day
- Feeling depressed and unmotivated
- Loss of appetite or, conversely, overeating
- Headache, stiff shoulders, stomach discomfort
- Decreased concentration and memory
- Slight fever and malaise persist.
If these symptoms persist, there may be a "lack of energy" in the body and mind.
Why does it happen?
Stress due to environmental changes
New relationships and changes in the rhythm of life can be stressful without you even realizing it.
Disturbance of the autonomic nervous system
The change of seasons is a time of extreme temperature differences, which can easily affect body temperature regulation and hormone balance. This causes an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, making it easier to feel unwell.
Accumulation of fatigue
Many people push themselves too hard in April and work too hard, and as a result, they experience a rebound in May. In particular, lack of sleep and unbalanced nutrition can make it difficult to relax.
Self-care points
Sleep and rest well.
Good sleep is essential for physical and mental recovery. Refrain from using your cell phone or computer one hour before bedtime and have a relaxing time.
Nutritionally balanced meals
In particular, B vitamins and proteins support brain and nerve function. It is important not to neglect your diet when you feel tired.
Make light exercise and sunbathing a habit.
Walking, stretching, and other physical activities within a reasonable range of effort will help to change one's mood and stabilize the autonomic nervous system.
