April 24th is celebrated as Scream Day every year. What’s the purpose of this holiday? It’s a day that’s designed to give people permission to let out one good primal scream. According to scientists, screaming is a good way for people to release tension in the muscles and it can release endorphins in the central nervous system that can lead to a lowering of anxiety, a reduction in pain, and an increase in a person’s pleasure.

In other words, screaming is good for a person’s mental and physical health, as long as it’s done in a responsible and controlled manner. This holiday in no way advocates for people screaming at each other.
