Beijing 120 reminds you that in spring, the temperature changes greatly and the air pressure is relatively low. Patients with mental illness are highly sensitive to changes in meteorological factors such as temperature, which may cause disorders in their physical and mental functions. It is necessary to cherish life, and pay attention to emotional changes. Prevention is important for maintaining mental health.

When people with healthy mental status find themselves depressed, they could remove their bad emotions by participating in sports and cultivating their own hobbies. For people who are experiencing loneliness, indifference, suspicion, or difficulty in fitting in, it is recommended to go to the hospital with families for examination once abnormal behavior occurs. For patients who have suffered from mental illness, family members should pay more attention to creating a relaxed and pleasant living environment, to eliminate the psychological triggers for the recurrence of the patient's disease, and guide the patient to come out of the overly closed mind.
