The Ministry of Health confirmed that there is no depression specific to the month of Shawwal, indicating that the bad mood and its volatility have its causes at this time.
The ministry indicated that the bad mood and its volatility in Shawwal have two reasons. The first is irregular sleep, indicating that according to a study, people who sleep less than 5 hours are dominated by negative emotions.
She added that the second reason for bad mood at this time is related to poor nutrition, noting that missing one meal leads to a drop in sugar, which leads to weakness and fatigue.
She called for making sure to take adequate sleep, while eating a balanced diet for stable mental health, and higher prevention of mood swings.
