Much depends on psychotype. An acute stress can cause posttraumatic depression, but there are frequent cases when the shock, on the contrary, breaks off depressive attack. Other kinds of melancholy are more often based on accumulation of negative emotions. Sometimes, «to untwist a spiral» of illnesses, the psychologist should “wind off” the life of the patient on several years ago. Sometimes the long stress has just mental manifestations - barefaced depression, development of phobias (every possible fears). And sometimes it provokes internal diseases. These are called by psychiatrists concealed or somatic depressions.
Choleric persons have most frequently the stress masked as cardiovascular illnesses (hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart attack), duodenal ulcer, urological problems.

Melancholiacs, as a consequence of depression, may have stomach ulcer, asthmatoid conditions, can be poured out in a stomach ulcer, neurodermatitis.
Sanguine and phlegmatic persons are less inclined to diseases because of nerves.

According to scientific researches, only 5 - 7 % from all population are not inclined to depressions. In psychiatry such lucky people are called “sunny natures�. All the rest are subject to melancholy from time, alas.

In the beginning of autumn psychologically uncomfortably - and without an obvious reason - feel:
cyclothymic personality - quite healthy people, but inclined to the causeless fluctuation of mood, too sensitive by nature. They can’t do anything right, feel breakdown, experience tearful irritability and headaches. There are about 20 % of such people;

people with weak vegetative system. They have increased dystonia attacks, At them on the first place attacks of a dystonia, pressure jumps and already as consequence, depressive mood. There are approximately 15 % of them;
there is also one special group of depressions which quite often “assault” in inter-season period - hormone-dependent. Their “spoil” are people in the periods of hormonal shocks (pregnancy, climax), suffering from diseases of thyroid gland.

It seems like popular opinion that breast feeding is useful for health of the kid, is overestimated.

So, for example, not long ago British scientists have finished their experiment in territory of Belarus. 13889 women with newborn children, who were born in the country at the end of 90s, participated in the research. The estimation of state of children’s health was conducted from 2002 till 2005 when they have reached age of 6,5 years.

And it appeared: that in that experimental group of women who continued to feed children as long as it was possible, trying to avoid milk formulas and baby foods, children were ill and suffered from asthma, pollinosis and eczema equally to the other group. Moreover, according to the leading author of the research Michael Kramer, an experimental group had an increased frequency of positive tests for allergic reactions.

But, nevertheless, doctors all the same recommend women not to refuse breast feeding. It reduces risk of intestinal infections and atopic dermatitis in the children of the first year of life. It also shows the best results in tests for intellectual development of kids.

If it seemed to you, that SMS-dependence can be your problem, try the following.

SMS take away a lot of time. Imagine how you could spend this time with the greater benefit. “Benefits” are not only career successes or an opportunity to learn foreign language. SMS-communication is closely connected to emotional sphere – than how you can entertain yourselves? Perhaps, it is better to go to cinema or to chat with friends without the help of mobile phone?

Analyse, to whom (Friends? Men? Colleagues? Parents?) and what you write more often, and direct your activity in a corresponding channel – to solve a specific problem.

Agree with friends that they, for example, answer only 2 of your SMS in a day. The others let be without attention. Most likely, you will be bored very soon.

At those moments when it will not entail really serious problems, try “to forget” phone at home or at the girlfriend. It is radical enough step, but it helps to understand, that there is nothing terrible in absence of opportunity to write SMS.

Even children today are able to send sms. With their help you can not only communicate with friends, but also receive pictures or melodies for phone, find out weather, exchange rate and many other things. At the same time the first function - communication - all the same remains the most important. And important to that extend that many user of cellular communication sometimes become subject to a kind of SMS-dependence.

Existence of SMS-mania is recognized, and dependence from such, apparently, harmless SMS is already the reality.

Here some causes, though very often one of them is enough.

1. Speed and convenience of communication
The advantages are evident, but there is one lack. SMS can not reproduce emotions and mood. However the person who has got used to SMS sometimes does not catch it and continues “to scribble” messages even when it is not simply possible, but necessary to speak “alive”.

2. The boredom and inability to do with themselves
This circumstance can provoke many “dependences”, and SMS-passion, perhaps, is the most harmless of them.

3. Uneasiness and fear of a dialogue

Absence of confident dialogue’s skills naturally leads to that you try to reduce this dialogue to a minimum. It is clear, that to write in this case is much more acceptable way out, rather than call or talk. Fear to disturb or appear off the point also play their roles.

Before starting to paint, the artist makes a decision about its format. But the child is given a standard sheet of a paper and thus he or she is already deprived of an opportunity to choose.

The same attitude can be noticed in many other questions. For example, it is considered, that the child needs only special nurseries songs and fairy tales. Such absence of imagination from the direction of an adult in its turn limits imagination of the child. When the children are offered only standard sized sheets of a paper, they subconsciously learn that all pictures should be only such size, and that this is that very thing, which wants there parents and tutors.

The child sees the huge world (much more, than parents can imagine themselves) when he or she takes a pencil for the first time and finds out, that he can leave traces on a clean paper. This huge world is much bigger, than a standard sheet of a paper. And the child needs a huge sheet of a paper on which he can creep crayoning. The standard sheet promotes upbringing of the standard person, deprived of creativity and sufficient vitality.

US researchers came to a conclusion, that now women are more unhappy than men. Modern women have more opportunities to realize themselves. But they have also more problems, show the data of the survey.

Scientists claim, that modern men have learned to have more rest and work less, while modern women work much more, than it was in 60s years.

In their research spouses-economists Betsy Stevenson and Justin Wolfers from University of Pennsylvania assert, that in 1976 16 % of men were satisfied with the life. The amount of happy men has increased for today up to 25 %.

However the number of happy women makes only 22 %.

According to the scientists, 40 years ago women were happier, as had fewer ambitions. They compared themselves with other representatives of the sex, but never compared with men.

Researchers from University of New Jersey have found out, that modern men try to be engaged less in unpleasant occupation. And women besides housekeeping are obliged to earn money.

According to the survey, presently a woman spends 23 hours a week on routine occupation, and a man - only 2 hours.

Under the statement of the researchers, modern women simply have not time to make everything, that have planned, therefore frequently feel unsatisfied.

But this is only peak of an iceberg. Scientists from Michigan University have established, children who sleep little, 2 times more often start to smoke, take alcohol and drugs, than their coevals, who get enough sleep. Unhealthy sleep quite often leads to problems at school and is a marker of the latent anxiety and aggression. Besides chronic not getting enough sleep can end with serious cardiovascular diseases and cause problems with excess weight, - writes medicinform.net

Experts consider that sleep of the teenager should last not less than eight hours. The teenager should have a habit to go to bed and be up at the certain time, this ordinary routine should be kept every day. Before going to bed the child should not be exposed to the influence of too bright illumination, while in the morning, on the contrary, his room should be illuminate as bright, as it is possible. The matter is that intensity of light informs our brain when to be prepared for a sleep and when for awakening.

Besides this ordinary routine, it is important also to adhere to the biological rhythms of an organism. The child should learn to distinguish time when he is the most active and according to it plan “working day”. An hour before sleep it is desirable to avoid reading the serious literature, making home tasks, computer games and the TV as all this “unsettles” and does not allow to fall asleep, - writes efamily.ru

Summing up, it is necessary to note, that sleeplessness is one of serious problems of the modern person. So, for example, according to the British scientists, only 3 % of the residents of the developed countries do not suffer from sleeplessness.

Modern teenagers’ mode of life causes serious anxiety. Growing up generation takes from an information society all the most perfect and advanced, thus sacrificing the health without any regret.

The British doctors from the medical organization «The Council of sleep» have questioned one thousand boys and girls in the age of from 12 till 16 years. The results appeared, to put it mildly, unfavorable. Almost a quarter of teenagers fall asleep with the switched on TV, audio-system or others electronic gadgets, being unable to leave favorite toys. The bedroom of almost any teenager is stuffed with the equipment and more likely reminds the multimedia center.

Getting acquaint with the received data, the British doctors have clutched their heads. They even have introduced the special term, «junk sleep». This word-combination illustrates well that fact, that modern teenagers think of sleep cavalierly, considering it as an annoying waste of time which needs to be avoided whenever possible.

Mobile phones also negatively influence sleep. According to researches of the Belgian scientists, many teenagers leave cell phones turned on for the night and wake up because of incoming SMS. Strangely enough, but turning off of a phone does not change a picture. About 3 percent of teenagers wake up all the same 1-3 times every night. In opinion of experts, children and teenagers, who constantly use mobiles phones, can feel memory impairment and headaches.

The loneliness in the most fatal image affects person’s health.

To such conclusion came the American scientists who have identified a sample of genic form in immune cells of people constantly experiencing high level of social isolation.

The data, received during the research of David Jeffen medical school prove that the lonely life is connected to changes in activity of genes which are responsible for inflammation in an organism, weakening of immune system and increase in risks of virus infections, cancer and heart illness.

Experts from University of Chicago used DNA microsets to spot work of all known human genes in white blood cells.

The analysis has shown, 209 genic decodings were differentially expressed between two groups of participants.

Genes in leukocytes of lonely people have been modified and caused breakdown of immune system protective functions and anti-virus responses of an organism.
