How month of birth can affect a person’s personality

Scientists are building small, but increasingly convincing evidence that the day and season of birth of a person can affect his fate.

There are many things that affect the development of the baby in the womb. Maternal nutrition, for example, has played an important role for children born during hunger. Seasonal viruses - especially flu - can affect mother's health and fetal development. Pregnancy in the winter, with short days and long nights, can cause seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in mothers and affect the baby.

Even after birth, children continue to depend heavily on the outside world. One 2010 study of the year on mice showed that mice born during the winter period were less active than those born in the summer. A subsequent study of the brain of mice showed that the gene that regulates circadian rhythms was less active in winter-born mice.

A flurry of recent studies has sought to extend these findings to humans—and here's what they found.

Spring: Children born in March, April and May are more optimistic than children born in winter. They perceive every defeat as an impetus to action. However, spring children are more susceptible to clinical depression.

Summer: Children born in June, July and August are characterized by a sharp change in mood, but children born in August are least affected by bipolar disorder.

Autumn: People born in the fall not only enjoy low levels of depression, but are less likely to develop bipolar disorder. One disadvantage for those born in autumn is that they tend to be irritable.

Winter: Children born in winter may have the most problems: high levels of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and depression. But there are also positives - they are less irritable than those born in the autumn. Moreover, children born in January and February more often become known, as these months correlate creativity and problem solving.

However, all this does not mean that parents should try to predict the birth of a child at one time or another.
