    Psychrophiles are adapted to thrive in habitats that possess constantly cold environments and near freezing temperatures, with an optimum level of 15 degrees Celsius. High salinity and low water activity are also typical of their environment. Because these organisms live in perpetually freezing areas like deep oceans and cold deserts, sea ice, glaciers and icebergs of polar regions, they possess cryoprotectants that act as an antifreeze, thus providing protection in the freezing…

    Psych Mood Disorder

    Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), or otherwise known as Major Depression, is a serious mood/mental disorder that drastically affects one’s life resulting in loss of interest, changes in diet, increase in irritability, and drop in mood. Major Depressive Disorder affects about 6.7% of the population of the United States over the age of 18. Although, MDD is common mostly in adults, it also affects teens and children. The main symptom of depression is a described as a sad or gloomy mood that doesn’t seem to go away. Although, some days, people just feel out of sorts, individuals with MDD experience their low feelings over extended periods of time. Although, in some cases, depression seems to follow after a traumatic event in one’s life, most of the time, doctors believe it’s is caused by the chemical imbalance in the brain. People with MDD lose interest in activities they once loved. Their mood becomes more irritable and often feel like they are worthless or failures. Many have trouble sleeping and develop insomnia. In several cases, there have been acts of suicide, suicide attempts, or the act of harming oneself, known as self-harm. Numerous depression treatments are available. Medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy) are very effective for most people. A common way to treat people with MDD is to give them antidepressants. Antidepressants work to balance some of the natural chemicals in our brains. It may take several weeks for them to help. Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.…

    Depression is a common mood disorder that can range from mild to severe. While severe depression cannot be managed without the aid of medication, in a number of cases mild depression can be controlled naturally. Treating depression naturally can spare you the expense and unpleasant side-effects of psychiatric medications. According to Dr. Goldsmith, exercise is the easiest and least expensive cure for depression and walking 30 minutes a day can sometimes completely alleviate your symptoms (www.psychologytoday.com). Having experienced a mild case of depression myself, I can attest to the effectiveness of natural treatment versus psychiatric medication. Changing my diet, exercising, and practicing relaxation techniques was more effective than the medication prescribed by my physician. The side effects from medication were more debilitating than the depression itself while my lifestyle changes have been completely positive.…
