Brandon Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Does anyone know of the effects CME have on mentality of some people? Some with mental illness seem to have bipolar or manic/psychosis symptoms during higher level CME and warnings and the natural cycles o the suns CME seem to be the cycle of some with monthly episodes, coinciding with the CME. Any thoughts? Edited March 30 by Sam Warfel Not appropriate language 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Popular Post Marcel de Bont Posted March 28 Solution Popular Post Share Posted March 28 It is not proven that space weather has a direct effect on the mental health of people. If people exhibit symptoms of worsening mental health during space weather events it is probably because they are unnecessarily worrying about the effects of space weather on themselves or our technology creating emotions like anxiety, stress or worse. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olive1989 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This is anecdotal so take my experience with a grain of salt, I'm diagnosed bipolar, and I I have been experiencing rapid cycling for the since the last 2 years. Even increasing or switching medications. Of course many factor could be at play here but I've recently came across these hypotheses and they seem to add up with my personal experience at least, and I wasn't even aware of the sun cycles. I think is worth discussing so please don't be so quick to dismiss as anxiety or unnecessary worrying as for my part I wasn't even aware of these phenomena until very recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesterface23 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Nowadays, I wonder how much mixed up or invalid stuff ends up on Researchgate. Not saying they all could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Silver Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) The first post in the very helpful space weather thread titled “Heliobiology” answers every question and assumption in this conversation. Heliobiology isn’t a matter of opinion, just as archaeology isn’t a matter of opinion. You can say that it it is not proven that carbon dating is real, and you doubt the results etc…But actual scientists doing this work for the past few decades will always have more valid data than your opinion. I suggest reading (and reopening) the thread. This topic isn’t going to go away because you’re afraid to learn about it. Deciding your belief despite facts is not skepticism, it’s denial. I’d love to have a civil discussion on this space weather forum about the increasing body of research on this space weather topic, without being funneled into your tinfoil hat thread. …Be nice, learn new things.

Phrophetz Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I've always been curious if the link has anything to do with the Schumann Resonance. I've found this website from a Russian University that tracks these frequencies and their spikes, but they only post three days worth of records currently so the data we're working with is very low. Here's a link for anyone who wants to check it out: http://sosrff.tsu.ru/ There are massive white "spikes" that occur every so often and the current on is very long. I just thought this was interesting because people are talking about the power of grounding and the SR is considered Earth's heartbeat. it's a vague connection, I know.
