Depression may be triggered by several causes such as genetics, severe illnesses, loneliness, and other personal problems. But a recent study shows that those who experience hay fever are four times more prone to get this complex illness.
Allergic Rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever is caused by allergic reactions to environmental particles. This often leads to sneezing, runny nose or itchiness in the eyes and throat.
According to experts who have studied and linked depression with hay fever, the elements that cause allergies may also harm the brain. Researchers found that the effects of these tiny particles may severely affect a person mentally in the long-run.
In 2010, a Danish study found that people who experience allergic rhinitis are more likely to experience extreme depression and even commit suicide by 30 percent compared to those who do not have the symptoms.
