According to this article I found on AOL:
my odds of anxiety and depression are lower because I was a chubby baby
but…
I’m at higher odds to commit suicide because I was born in the summer. The study’s authors note that their findings are consistent with the prevalence of people born during spring and summer suffering from seasonal affective disorders and alcoholism, both of which represent about 10 percent of total expected annual suicides in England and Wales. (see I do have that seasonal disorder!) Summer-born babies also have a higher risk of nearsightedness with the highest rates occurring in babies born in June/July…(I’m really nearsighted too!)
and…
I have a greater risk of cerebral palsy, autism-spectrum disorders, mental retardation, blindness, low vision, hearing loss, and epilepsy as well as disorders of psychological development behavior and emotion because I was premature
I don’t know if I necessarily agree that it’s my birth month that makes things be or not be, but it’s interesting all the same.
