专家呼吁关注’雾霾抑郁’ Smog causes depression?

Smog causes depression?

Clinical psychiatrists have called for closer studies on the negative impact of smoggy days on mental health, China Daily reported.

Severe pollution has been linked to respiratory problems, but few people consider how it may trigger “smog depression”, said Tian Chenghua, a professor at the Institute for Psychiatric Research at Peking University’s No 6 Hospital.

Tian went on to say that it has been scientifically proven that some types of depression are closely related to seasonal changes and the lack of sunlight.

The Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau said Thursday that the capital saw 58 days of serious pollution over the past year, with residents having to endure a smoggy day every 6 to 7 days on average.

专家呼吁关注’雾霾抑郁’

据《中国日报》报道，临床精神疾病医生呼吁加强雾霾对心理健康负面影响的研究。

北京大学第六医院精神卫生研究所教授田成华表示，人们通常会把严重污染与呼吸系统疾病联系起来，却很少有人注意到”雾霾抑郁症”如何发生。

他表示，科学已经证实某些抑郁症的发生与季节变迁和缺少阳光密切相关。

北京市环保局2日表示，2013年北京市重污染天数达58天，也就是说，居民平均每6至7天就会经历一次雾霾天。
