quote of the day

Spring is a season when changes in physical condition, such as autonomic nervous system disturbances, can easily occur. Furthermore, other people tend to be cheerful, which can potentially deepen the feelings of alienation and loneliness among those with no support.

It has a lot to do with Japan's crazy fiscal year system. Everything, as in everything, must end on March 31 and then begin on April 1st, no exceptions allowed. In the business, academic and cultural fields, this rigid scheduling puts tons of pressure on people.

Where else does the season with the best weather coincide with the highest depression levels? Crazy. Japan can start by making the school year begin in September.

"Yoshinori Cho, director general of the National Institute of Mental Health at Japan's National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry. Nearly every year over the past 10 years, March has seen the most suicides, with numbers."

Why?

Because,

"Spring is a season when changes in physical condition, such as autonomic nervous system disturbances, can easily occur."

Now the question is can the so called physical condition such as autonomic nervous system disturbance artificially triggered for desired results to affirm the past decade unnecessary deaths?
