As pool time, sunshine, and longer days are on the way out, and autumn makes its way in, some people find themselves feeling anxious.
“Autumn anxiety is the tendency for people to suffer from anxiety and low mood during the autumn months,” Dr. Clare Morrison, medical advisor at MedExpress, told Healthline.
“Unlike other anxiety, there often isn’t an obvious external trigger, and it tends to recur annually,” she said.
She says many people don’t realize how common anxiety in autumn is, and may not recognize it.
“However, if it occurs every year, the pattern will become obvious, and one can take steps to prevent it,” she said.
