Autoimmune and psychiatric diseases can worsen in the spring. Nikolai Kryuchkov, an immunologist and Candidate of medical Sciences, told about this on Tuesday, March 17.

"There are a lot of such diseases. We are talking about diseases of the cardiovascular system, autoimmune diseases and others. Due to the peculiarities of the immune system in different seasons of the year and external environmental factors, also related to seasonality, in fact, a number of chronic diseases can really worsen in the autumn and spring periods," Kryuchkov said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

He specified that, first of all, autoimmune diseases, psychiatric diseases, diseases of the cardiovascular system and diseases of the autonomic nervous system tend to worsen in the spring.

According to Kryuchkov, for most diseases, properly selected therapy from medications, if necessary, nutrition, as well as normalization of the regime can make exacerbations mildly pronounced or even neutralize them.

"But if a person does not receive appropriate treatment, it means that he is most susceptible to these fluctuations and, accordingly, may actually get an exacerbation," the doctor concluded.
