Talk with your doctor and create a dosage schedule.
12 TSA Medication Travel Tips You don t need to to notify an officer about any medication you are traveling with unless it is in liquid form. Liquid medication more than 3.4 ounces is allowed in carry-on bags. You are not required to place medically required liquids in a zip-top bag. However, you must tell the officer that you have medically necessary liquids at the start of the security screening. Medically required liquids could receive additional screening that could include being asked to open the container. You can bring your medication in pill or solid form in unlimited amounts as long as it is screened. You can travel with your medication in both carry-on and checked baggage. You should place keep your medication in your carry-on in case you need to access them immediately. TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication. Medication is usually screened by X-ray; however, if you do not want a medication X-rayed, you can request an inspection instead. Nitroglycerin tablets and spray (used to treat episodes of angina in people who have coronary artery disease) are permitted and have never been prohibited. TSA Travel Tips Traveling with Medication.

13 What About Traveling Abroad? Pack a note on letterhead stationery from the prescribing doctor (preferably translated into the language understood at your destination) including: All prescribed medications, information on their active ingredients and the purpose of the medication Controlled substances, such as marijuana, and injectable medicines, such as EpiPens and insulin. Check with the country you are traveling to, to insure all medications are legal in that country and that you meet local requirements for labeling
14 Combatting Seasonal Affective Disorder and Social Isolation 14
15 What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? A type of depression A mood disorder subset in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year exhibit depressive symptoms at the same time of each year, most commonly in the winter. Full Remittance during other seasons 2 Years of continuing pattern 15
16 Who it affects 4-6 % of people in the United States More common the farther from the equator Onset is typically in years of age More common in females 16
17 Causes Circadian Rhythm body s natural 24 hour clock Serotonin - a compound present in blood platelets and serum that constricts the blood vessels and acts as a neurotransmitter. Melatonin levels - a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that inhibits melanin formation and is thought to be concerned with regulating the reproductive cycle. 17
18 Risk factors Family history. People with SAD may be more likely to have blood relatives with SAD or another form of depression. Having major depression or bipolar disorder. Symptoms of depression may worsen seasonally if you have one of these conditions. Living far from the equator. SAD appears to be more common among people who live far north or south of the equator. This may be due to decreased sunlight during the winter and longer days during the summer months. Sex. Females are more likely than males to suffer from SAD. 18
19 Signs and symptoms of SAD Feeling depressed most of the day, nearly every day Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed Having low energy Having problems with sleeping Experiencing changes in your appetite or weight Feeling sluggish or agitated Having difficulty concentrating Feeling hopeless, worthless or guilty Having frequent thoughts of death or suicide 19
