This sounds so ridiculous, I have no idea how to even interpret it. Most people are exposed to sunshine on a daily basis...

[wastedyears]

Found some inspiration for you!

[tumblindice]

Sunshine on my shoulders, makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes, makes me cry.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I am throwing the bull $hit flag on this stupidity. Next they’ll say too much green grass causes suicides.

[mlizzy]

Goofy article; you'd get depressed just trying to figure out what the heck they are saying. I take vitamin d supplements as I tested low, and my other doctor said to get 20 minutes of sunshine a day (whenever possible) to provide more vitamin d.

It is known that vitamin d is helpful against depression.

[Chode]

and lack of same causes suicide in winter, so which is it???

sounds like gloBULL warming, EVERYTHING causes it

[FlingWingFlyer]

Exposure to sunshine over a short period of time may increase the risk of suicide but may also lower the risk over several months, suggests a new study from Austria.

Makes sense to me, I guess.

If you’re 19 and you stay up all night, it’s like a victory, like you’ve beat the night, but, if you’re over 30, then that sun is like God’s flashlight.- G. Carlin, RIP.

[RegulatorCountry]

Sounds like the sample was all city people who only got outside rarely or the study was conducted in a gray, depressing climate, to me. It’d have to be, in order to avoid sufficient sunlight to get to the beneficial level of it as far as depression.

Maybe a brief dose of sunshine only served to highlight how very gray and depressing their everyday reality is?

BAN THE SUN!

[Jack Hydrazine]

I bet listening to this song would do the same thing!

Electric Light Orchestra - Mr Blue Sky

“Mr. Blue Sky”

Sun is shinin’ in the sky,
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’
Everybody’s in a play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day.

Runnin’ down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

[Chorus:]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky’s
Up there waitin’ and today
Is the day we’ve waited for

[Chorus]

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin’ over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I’ll remember you this way.

[Chorus]

[Fungi]

Pure nonsense. “Babies breast fed risk suicide.” We are in an age of fathomless stupidity.

[Politicalkiddo]

I get really depressed when I get too much sunshine. I have always been happier in rainer climates.

[wyokostur]

Study shows that being born increases your risk for suicide.

[dragonblustar]

Sunshine tied to suicide risk: study

Maybe for Twilight fans.

[Organic Panic]

Life is a terminial illness.

[samtheman]

It’s the combination that’s deadly:

Breathing, eating, sleeping, walking in the sun.

Everyone in history who did those 4 things at some time in their life has died.

It’s a scientific fact.

(Now, where’s my grant money?)

[Vendome]

Oh damnit!

I really should stop drinking coffee.

Fer Chreyest sake. It’s only a cup a day.

Though the coffe me brother made this morning nearly killed me.

French pressed?

Frickin mudd and awful!

Was jinkin for hours afterward.

Shoulduh had a diet Coke.

[KosmicKitty]

And here I thought SAD - Seasonal Affect Disorder - was caused by lack of sun. That was what made people depressed.

I started my college education by majoring in psychology. Then I switch to computer science because at least computer science made sense. Psych was all bull.

[hal ogen]

OMG!!!! It is sunny here today...maybe I’ll kill my self. (Am I wrong to believe that most “studies” are trash science?)
