Spring is Underway

Feeling a little down, under the weather, but have an inkling that it's all in your head? Well as the seasons change and the weather becomes less and less constant a multitude of changes take place in your body that creates changes in the mind. History of bad allergies? Beware of manic depression. Sounds a little strange, but take a minute to look and it all makes sense. While allergies have their usual symptoms, people suffering will endure a host of other less concrete symptoms, including irritability, mood changes, fatigue and even depression.

In recent years, allergists have begun working with psychologists to better understand why the "allergy blues" occur, and the answer — immune system proteins or just a lack of sleep, or possibly a combination of the two – is still up for debate. Read a doctor response to someone suffering from depression and you may find that you have similar feelings.
