With the holiday travel season under way, University of Phoenix social sciences program chairs Mary Jo Trombley, Ph.D., N.C.C., and DeAnna Henderson, Ph.D., L.P.C., N.C.C., say that living with chronic or situational depression can be challenging to handle, and travel can add additional burdens. What Is Depression? The American Psychological Associ- ation defi nes depression as a common and serious medical illness that nega- tively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. The association lists common symptoms of depression as including feelings of sadness or de- pression, change in sleep patterns and eating habits, loss of energy, feelings of fatigue, loss of interest in activities, and the inability to think, concentrate or make decisions. According to Dr. Trombley, these symptoms can become exacerbated when traveling. She states that travel- ing should not be seen as a cure for de- pression. It can be a way to obtain tem- porary relief but worry, stress, pressure and loneliness are contributing factors to depression and are often present for travelers. “Traveling comes with changes in routine, pressures of time commit- ments, and changes in eating, sleeping and exercising patterns,” Dr. Henderson added. “These changes can trigger a sense of not being in control and in- crease the sense of depression.” Tips for Traveling with Depression Depression can be challenging. Drs. Trombley and Henderson provide the following strategies to help individuals cope when traveling. Plan ahead: For someone who may be struggling with depression, it is best to plan for travel as opposed to mak- ing an impulsive trip. Plan as much of the trip as possible. Know your route and possible delays, and have snacks in case you are delayed. Build in enough time to travel through airports and security check-points if fl ying to your destination. Practice self-management: Self- management is the ability to manage your personal reactions to responsibili- ties and challenges in work and life. This becomes critical during times of adapt- ing to changing situations. Recogniz- ‘Bone Up’ On Wise Winter Weather Practices For Your Pet You don’t have to let the stress of travel make depression worse, experts advise. ing triggers and your body’s response to unfamiliar and stressful situations can help keep depressive symptoms at bay. Use appropriate coping strate- gies: Techniques that help people manage stressful and/or traumatic situations are coping strategies. These strategies can include the use of mind- fulness, guided imagery, deep breath- ing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation. Additionally, reaching out to support systems during this time can diminish feelings of loneliness during travel. Finally, the use of humor can be effective in reducing stress. Get a sufﬁ cient amount of sleep, exercise, and eat well: Travel can be exhausting. It is important to maintain patterns of sleep and healthy eating while traveling. Moreover, the mainte- nance of an exercise routine can also help reduce stress and release endor- phins while traveling. It is also impor- tant to limit alcohol consumption as alcohol is a depressant and may exac- erbate depressive symptoms. Be realistic about your travel plans: Recognize that even though you have planned your travel, unplanned situations can occur. Maintaining a fl ex- ible stance can reduce the amount of stress experienced if travel does not go as planned. Also, while travel may alleviate some depressive symptoms, do not be alarmed if your symptoms return once the travel has ended. University of Phoenix is committed to training professional counselors who help treat depression and other mental health needs. Through programs like the Master of Science in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Men- tal Health Counseling, University of Phoenix is helping individuals combat mental illness during the holidays and beyond. (NAPSA)—Notwithstanding their fur coats, pets can feel the cold just as humans do. So it’s up to you to en- sure that your furry friends stay safe and warm during the colder months. To help, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the inter- national trade association represent- ing more than 100 power equipment, engine and utility vehicle manufac- turers and suppliers, offers these tips: • Know your pet. Different pets have different levels of tolerance for cold. When going out for walks, a short-coated, elderly or frail dog may need a jacket to weather the el- ements. • Forgo haircuts. Let your dog’s winter coat protect him against the chill. Save shearing for warmer months. • Check ears, paws and tails regularly. You’re looking for signs of frostbite or raw spots from ice and snow. Remove any clumps of frozen debris from between the paw pads each time your dog goes outside. • Wipe down your pet’s belly, legs and paws. Have a clean towel ready each time your dog comes inside to remove ice-melting chemi- cals, which can irritate and cause seri- ous illness if licked or swallowed. • Clean up antifreeze spills. Due to the sweet smell and taste, pets will lick or drink antifreeze if they fi nd it puddled on sidewalks or garage fl oors—but antifreeze is toxic to cats and dogs. Clean up spills and consid- er using a brand made from propyl- ene glycol, which is less toxic. • Keep the water ﬂ owing. Dry winter weather can be dehydrating, as well as freezing. Keep a fresh sup- ply of water inside for your pet and break up any ice accumulation on her outdoor water bowl. • Provide a warm place to rest. Winter days can be drafty and cold, so ensure your pet has plenty of el- evated places inside to warm up. A cozy pet bed works beautifully.

Re- member to check your pet’s paws, ears and tail after some outdoor winter fun. • Leave Fido at home. You’ve probably heard a lot about the dan- gers of leaving a pet in a hot car dur- ing the summertime, but the prac- tice can be just as hazardous in the winter. It’s always best to leave your dog at home when you’re running errands. • Keep them leashed. More pets get lost during the winter than any other time of the year. Snow covers familiar scents, making it harder for your dog to fi nd his way home. Keep your dog on a leash when you’re out and about and make sure his tag and microchip information are up-to- date in case he escapes. “Our TurfMutt environmental education stewardship program encourages people and pets to get outside, and my dog Lucky loves to romp in fresh snow as much as the next dog,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI. “But during the win- tertime we have to be careful about when and how we expose our pets to the elements. Even though pets must go outdoors periodically to do their ‘business’ and get some exercise, no pet should be left outdoors during the winter months—if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pet.” Learn More For further information about the benefi ts of your family lawn for pets and people during all seasons, go to www.SaveLivingLandscapes.com and www.TurfMutt.com.
