Chaotic Solar Storms and Mental Illness Connection
As a recent Washington Times article noted The Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems (INEP), an organization founded in 1989 to research ecology in Northern Russia, found:
“From 1949-1997…. geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March to May, in July, and in October). Every peak matched an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide in the city Kirovsk.”
Many studies have theorized on the relationship between increased solar activity and it’s effect on melatonin production in the pineal gland of the brain. Melatonin is essential in maintaining circadian rhythm - the 24-hour sleep-wake cycle that is essential to our well-being. Associate Professor Neil Cherry of Lincoln University, New Zealand linked a bump in suicide rates to solar activity, blaming the incidences on a disturbance in the Schumann Resonance Signal – the extremely low frequency portion of the Earth’s electromagnetic field spectrum. In his study, Cherry
