Cover Have you ever experienced this? “When Autumn comes, I feel depressed for no apparent reason.” “The Cold Winter makes me feel depressed all the time…” “I always feel irritable and can’t sleep in early spring.” “I always get a headache before it rains.” —This “vague feeling of unwell” isn’t just your imagination or laziness. It’s not a special phenomenon that only happens to you. Rather, it’s a natural reaction of the human body that resonates with changes in the energy of nature as the seasons change. What is “seasonal blues”? In this book, this term refers to a state in which mental and physical discomfort consistently appears at the change of certain seasons. According to Naganuma, in recent years, many people have been experiencing these “seasonal blues.” Seasonal blues can be a “mental sign” or a “physical sign.” It all starts with becoming aware of them. “Why do our minds and bodies become unwell when the seasons change?” This book uncovers the root causes and offers specific self-care suggestions.

hypersensitivity, neurodevelopmental disorders, developmental trauma, adult children, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Integrating Western medical knowledge with the wisdom of Eastern medicine, which is rooted in Eastern philosophy and has a history of over 2,000 years, this book carefully explains the effects of the seasons on the mind and body. It proposes “self-care that can withstand change” tailored to modern lifestyles. Characteristics of people prone to seasonal blues ☆Emotional: Serious and responsible, perfectionist, highly sensitive, easily affected by changes in the environment, prone to anxiety, etc. ☆Lifestyle: Disorders in daily rhythm, sleep, exercise habits, diet, etc. ☆Constitutional: Genetic or physical weaknesses ☆Age: As we age, our body clock, hormone function, autonomic nervous system, and immune system weaken. If any of these apply to you, it may be causing you to lose balance between your mind and body. For more details, please check the main text of this book. Features of this book ★ Understand the mechanism by which your mind and body become fatigued as the seasons change ★Care can be provided at the “pre-illness” stage, before illness even occurs, leading to improvement. ★While Western medicine specializes in acute care, we incorporate the wisdom of Eastern medicine, which is strong in improving constitution, to address underlying symptoms whose causes are difficult to identify. ★The Eastern concepts featured in this book, such as the five internal organs and qi (energy), make it easy to intuitively understand the relationship between the mind, body, and seasons. ★You’ll learn to master the rhythms of nature, such as air pressure, temperature, humidity, and hours of sunlight. ★Learn effective self-care methods year-round and for each season ★Choose from a wide variety of actions and lifestyles, including stress management, body recovery care, and lifestyle regimens, and practice the ones that are right for you at your own pace. This book is incredibly gentle, consistently supporting its readers, emphasizing the importance of self-care and offering numerous ideas for gradually and comfortably tackling the issue. It will act as your talisman, so to speak. This book will help you regain your peace of mind and make you want to take care of yourself. We hope you find it useful.

Born in 1956. After graduating from Hokkaido University School of Medicine, he completed neurosurgery training and specialized in neurology, completing basic research in neurobiochemistry in graduate school. He then switched to the field of special needs medicine and worked as a child psychiatrist at the Hokkaido Sapporo Rehabilitation Center for 14 years. In 2008, he transferred to the Department of Psychiatry at Hokkaido Midorigaoka Hospital, where he treated children and adults. In 2016, he opened Tokachi Mutsumi Clinic in Obihiro (now in his 9th year). She has doubts about Western medicine, which finds the cause of the disease, confirms the diagnosis, and treats acute symptoms symptomatically, and is working to treat chronic functional diseases such as sensitive temperament, neurodevelopmental disorders, developmental trauma, adult children, and chronic fatigue syndrome by studying Chinese medicine, which aims to provide fundamental treatment by connecting the brain, mind, body, food, and soul. Her books include “A book to make life easier for people who find life difficult because they are too sensitive”, “A book to help you live comfortably as yourself, even if you are delicate and sensitive” (both published by Nagaoka Shoten), “A book to read if you are troubled by your child’s sensitivity”, and “A book to ease tired minds for teenagers” (both published by Seibundo Shinkosha), among many others.
