Psychologist Explains Spring Energy Boost and Seasonal Fatigue

The arrival of sunny spring days has visibly improved the mood of people on Slovak streets, according to clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Adam Suchý. He explains that increased sunlight triggers hormonal changes in the body, shifting the balance between melatonin and serotonin, which naturally drives people toward greater activity. However, Suchý notes that this transitional period can be challenging, as the pleasant weather draws people outdoors even when they may still be feeling the effects of winter lethargy. The psychologist suggests that experiencing spring fatigue during this adjustment period should not be viewed as a personal failure, but rather as a normal part of the seasonal transition.
