Okay, do you find yourself preparing physically or mentally for the colder months ahead? What does that look like for you? Usually, during the autumn, it is comfortable, the nights are cooler, so we get better sleep, days are not that much hot not that much cold so we enjoy going outside and you know it's coming back and you know the change in colors like the around our around the nature it gives us like um a better feeling right saying bye-bye to the green nature and welcoming the orange nature and we got like mentally prepared to expect the dryness of winter. That's a great answer. Are there any changes in how you care for yourself or engage with health services during the autumn? I'm thinking check-ups, vaccinations, changes in habits. Yes, I usually, usually I have toward the year I I have like almost every month I have schedules for health visits, hospital visits due to my personal health condition. But during the autumn months, actually my healthcare providers, they suggest us to make more frequent visits instead like nowadays in spring or summer. would suggest us like come back in six weeks eight weeks they would try to see me in like every four weeks time. Yep. Yeah that's great. What kind of support or guidance will be helpful from a health care professional at this time of year. I'm thinking practical emotional or seasonal planning? Yeah, the depression rate goes up during the summer, during the winter month due to shortage of sunlight. It is less in America, but there are some countries like Scandinavian countries, the rate is really high. But to my understanding, even in America or even in Maryland, it is higher than any other season. So healthcare provisional should start advising their patients about raising awareness about their mental health during autumn. And definitely they should inform their patients about taking necessary shots. that would be helpful for them.
