Re: Air pressure

Jennifer, I came up with it bicycling to work. Certain days I could tell as soon as I pulled onto the road that everyone was out to kill me, so to speak. It's really obvious when you are trying not to get killed. After a while I could tell it wasn't just my perception. People get really hard on the gas, change lanes a lot, tailgate, pass close, and everyone seems to think they're late and everyone else is in the way. It's like they're all on edge, or manic. It's usually a sunny day after a storm or overcast period, after a front goes through. I figured it wasn't nice weather because they weren't always like that. So I figured it might be barometric pressure. I saw a study cited somewhere about mood and pressure but I didn't follow up.

I found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28278268/

Quote:

The results showed that daily maximum temperature was the only meteorological variable to predict clinically-relevant mood change, with increases in temperature associated with greater odds of a transition into manic mood states.
