"Sunset syndrome" causes anxiety, depression, and agitation

The "sunset syndrome" causes increased anxiety, agitation, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, often manifesting or worsening in the late afternoon or early evening. This syndrome, also known as "Sunset syndrome," involves symptoms like confusion and depression, potentially linked to the body's biological clock and reduced natural light exposure. Brazilian doctors noted depressive symptoms and cognitive deficits. Psychologists suggest managing the syndrome through enjoyable activities and consulting a doctor. It is similar to the "twilight state" in geriatrics, which involves increased confusion and disorientation at dusk.
