Psychologist explains how to overcome 'depression' after a Taylor Swift concert

Taylor Swift‘s visit to Spain has left no one indifferent. The American artist has offered two performances in the city of Madrid, specifically at the Santiago Bernabeu, delighting more than 140,000 people. Her ‘The Eras Tour’ is being a great success, but attending such an event can have consequences.

In fact, some ‘Swifties,’ as Taylor Swift fans are known, admit to having experienced ‘depression’ after a concert by the American singer or having lived it so intensely that they remember nothing.

The issue was analyzed on the afternoon program of La Sexta, ‘Zapeando,’ where psychologist Marta Fernandez participated. The expert revealed that it is possible for someone to feel bad after such a high-level show.

“It’s not clinical depression, no. What happens is a drop in mood for different reasons,” Fernandez explained. First, they’ve been sleep-deprived, drinking, partying non-stop…

“The drop we’ve all experienced, well, it’s the same. Moreover, at an event like this, with your reward systems and dopamine levels at their peak, of course… then there’s a drop.”

Additionally, the psychologist explained that many Swift fans may have been looking forward to the concert for so long with such excitement that it made them forget other life problems.

“It seems like everything in life has been solved by seeing Taylor Swift, and now that it’s over, they have to face their life and its challenges again,” she said.

Other ‘Swifties’ have revealed that they don’t remember much of what happened during the artist’s concert. The psychologist clarified what happens.

“When the nervous system gets so excited, it interprets the situation as a threat… Therefore, it prioritizes some structures and shuts down others,” Fernandez continued.

To overcome this ‘post-Taylor depression,’ Marta Fernandez has a clear solution.”

“We are going to try to regulate our nervous system, get back to sleeping well, eating well, and making plans that, instead of connecting us so much with dopamine, connect us with serotonin,” she stated.

“Taking a walk in the countryside, reading a book on the couch, meeting a friend for coffee… these things can help us regain regularity.”
