                                Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.Spirits can be low.

people who suffer from "the autumn blues" often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight.

"The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is not known yet," says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center."But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight."

One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.

Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SA  D.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.

"It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.Remember, spring always lives in your heart," Chen says.

     Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.

- Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus, exercise is calming and relieves one's mood.

- Relax at work.Stretch, breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.

- Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.

- Look at bright colors, such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.

- Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel.

- Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Blooming plants are cheering.

     It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
"Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
     That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
     Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
they are right now they need to separate from you.
     Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing there they are and who they are with.
Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it's because it's
a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
     When they're home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
