Cleveland Clinic flags end-of-summer mood shift tips
Hindustan Times··30 Sept
Cleveland Clinic psychologists describe nostalgia and low energy when summer routines end as end-of-summer blues. Psychologist Beena Persaud suggests planning fall activities and keeping favourite summer habits. The autumn equinox arrived on September 22, 2026, marking astronomical fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Sustained loss of interest or withdrawal may signal a deeper mental health concern.

What It Means For You

- Continuing outdoor reading or evening walks may ease the shift back to packed schedules.
- Persistent withdrawal from friends, school or work warrants checking with a clinician.
What's Happening
- Hindustan Times summarized Cleveland Clinic advice as temperatures cool after summer.
- Clinic experts recommend staying connected through meals or weekend plans with family.
- They frame the equinox as a milestone to notice seasonal change rather than mourn summer.
Seasonal transition routines
