Depression is one of the most common health conditions in the world. Depression isn't a weakness, nor is it something that you can simply "snap out of." Depression, formally called major depression, major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a medical illness that involves the mind and body. It affects how you think and behave and can cause a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may not be able to go about your usual daily activities, and depression may make you feel as if life just isn't worth living anymore.

Most health professionals today consider depression a chronic illness that requires long-term treatment, much like diabetes or high blood pressure. Although some people experience only one episode of depression, most have repeated episodes of depression symptoms throughout their life.

Effective diagnosis and treatment can help reduce even severe depression symptoms. And with effective treatment, most people with depression feel better, often within weeks, and can return to the daily activities they previously enjoyed.

I started not feeling good yesterday morning. Felt like I am coming down with something. I took some counter med right away hoping to stop it. But, that nasty cold defeated my body. But, I am the kin of person who doesn't want to lay down eventhough I am not feeling good. I usually work eventhough I am sick. Today I got up with a very soar throat and a banging headache. That nasty cold got me! I tried to avoid it, but it got me anyway.

Jet lag occurs when the body has trouble adjusting to travel across time zones.

Follow these recommendations to minimize symptoms:

Avoid alcohol consumption right before, during, and right after your flight.
Eat healthy, well-balanced meals and healthy portion sizes.
Get plenty of exercise during your trip.
If you take sleep medication, use it only for a few days.
Follow the local schedule of your new time zone, not the old one.
