Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever is a psychological condition that occurs when a person experiences negative feelings—such as boredom, irritability, restlessness, and frustration—due to prolonged confinement or isolation in a limited space, often during bad weather or quarantine. It results from a lack of social interaction, outdoor activity, and mental stimulation. Symptoms can include mood swings, difficulty concentrating, and a desire to escape the confined environment. Managing Cabin Fever typically involves increasing physical activity, social connections (even virtually), and engaging in new or enjoyable activities to improve mental well-being.
