Allergies Making You Blue?

Tuesday March 25, 2008
Allergies can be a major problem for people during the spring, and in more ways than you might realize. Sure, allergies can cause sneezing, a runny nose, and nasal congestion, but did you know that allergies can affect your energy level and mood? Multiple recent studies show that people with allergies are affected in many ways other than the typical nasal symptoms.

People suffering from allergies have decreased motivation and energy levels, trouble sleeping and problems with concentrating at work or school. In addition, allergies also affect mood. A large proportion of people with allergies feel embarassed and depressed as a result of their symptoms, and more than 50% of people would describe their feelings as irritable or miserable when allergy symptoms are acting up.
