There is a saying in the folk: "when rape flowers turn yellow, fools go crazy", which means that when the rape flowers dye the fields yellow in spring, some mental patients will also relapse or aggravate.
It is not difficult to see from the惨case that happened in Nanping, Fujian. If there are "mental distraction, suspiciousness, always feel someone is talking behind his back", and "too much suspicion, often suspect the dean and other colleagues talk about him behind his back and harm him", these information have highly suggested that the murderer has psychological abnormalities. The final conclusion depends on the forensic identification of his mental illness. Anyway, for the management of mental patients, including social support, family supervision, regular follow-up by the community or hospital, and health education for patients, etc., are urgent matters.
Among mental patients, those who are more affected by seasonal changes are schizophrenic and manic patients.
Schizophrenic patients may tend to worsen in spring, including sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up, short sleep time, etc.; they may also become emotionally unstable, irritable, sensitive and suspicious; or表现为the recurrence of symptoms that have disappeared, such as the appearance or increase of auditory hallucinations, etc., leading to impulsive aggressive behavior.
Manic patients may experience their first episode or relapse in spring. Manic patients often show excitement, talkativeness, high spirits, excessive energy, exaggerated speech content, and seem to be able to do anything.
Mental disorder patients are more or less affected by the season in spring, especially elderly and adolescent patients.
Especially for elderly patients with diabetes, hypertension and other physical diseases, it is easier to develop mood disorders, among which mania is the most common. And adolescent schizophrenia patients, due to the excitability of their cerebral cortex itself being high and unbalanced, so they are more likely to experience worsening or relapse in spring. Both types of patients show excitement and increased activity, that is, "fools go crazy".
