WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Wall Street's roller coaster ride is costing Americans more than money: It's costing them sleepless nights and a heap of emotional distress, experts say.

It is common for many young children to be afraid of the dark because they think that there are monsters hiding under their beds and in their closets. Other children might even be terrified of the dark because of some of the nightmares that many children will have.

In the last dozen years, my husband and I have moved from Austin to Phoenix to Washington, D.C. to Atlanta to Kansas City, and we are getting ready for a move back to Texas. While I love getting to know new cities, I've just begun to realize the toll that so much moving creates.

Serotonin Cluster of Symptoms = Depression, anxiety / panic, obsessive / compulsive, and Procrastination.

If you have these symptoms, and they came with the FMS, it indicates a problem with Serotonin Reuptake.

Signals from your brain to your body are not moving correctly.

We found that taking a small amount of any good SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) relieves the symptoms.

We take it in the evening, so that signals are optimal while the body does maintenance during sleep.

I was first diagnosed with major depression twenty-five years ago. Through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, the proper meds and my sense of humor, I have been hospital-free for the past seventeen years. I am stable to the point where I was able to write a book about a year's worth of experiences navigating through the self-help industry. It took five years, but my comic memoir Hide & Seek: How I Laughed at Depression, Conquered My Fears and Found Happiness is being published this month by Kunati Books.

Whether you are caring for babies and children, or you are caring for your parents or older relatives, many caregivers suffer from caregiver stress.

The stress can be financial, emotional, physical or a combination of many factors. Both men and women suffer from this kind of stress, but women tend to suffer caregiver stress more, but that may be because women tend to BE caregivers more often.

There are other symptoms, but these are just a few of the more common ones.

"Postpartum depression is under-diagnosed," said Dr. Adam Aponte, a pediatrician and associate director for recruitment and retention at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. "We found the fewer the questions, the better. It opens the door for dialogue about how the mom is doing. The last thing you want is a depressed mom. It's important to screen."
