Progress in the study of the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the mood and rhythm (review)

Abstract

Overview

The abstract discusses the widespread presence of electrical appliances and mobile communication systems, their emission of electromagnetic radiation, and its classification as possibly carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Findings

• The review incorporates a variety of studies examining the short-term and long-term effects of electromagnetic radiation exposure, highlighting its potential to cause anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
• It focuses on animal and cellular studies conducted over the past decade to assess the impacts on mood and biological rhythms.
• The text discusses how electromagnetic radiation may affect brain function, neurotransmitters, neuron structure, endocrine hormones, and free radicals, contributing to psychiatric and sleep rhythm disorders.

Conclusion

The summary suggests that current findings provide vital clues for developing therapeutic approaches for sleep and mood disorders. However, it also notes that the understanding of electromagnetic radiation’s full impact is limited, pointing towards the need for further research.
