Findings from a new study suggest that we begin the day in our best frame of mind but that by midnight, we experience our worst. The study found that the day of the week and even the season also affect our mental health.
Daily and Seasonal Rhythms in Mental Well-Being
A new study published in BMJ Mental Health has revealed significant patterns in how people’s mental well-being fluctuates throughout the day, week, and year. The research, involving nearly 50,000 participants, primarily women, suggests that these rhythms could have implications for mental health service delivery and individual self-care strategies.The study used data from the University College London COVID-19 Social Study, which tracked the mental health of participants over two years (March 2020 to March 2022).
