Moods, like colors, have a range of hues, from the bright shades of happiness to the dark ones of depression. A mood problem that’s down in the dark range, but doesn’t quite reach the level of depression, is dysthymia (dis-THIGH-me-ah). It refers to a long-term drone of low-grade depression that lasts for at least two years in adults or one year in children and teens. While not necessarily as crippling as major depression, its persistent hold can keep you from feeling good and interfere with your work, school, family, and social life.

No matter that father time catches up to everyone, whether it is Michael Jordan on the Wizards, Joe Namath with the Rams. Despite his talent, he has been a nomad throughout his career, burning bridges with two different teams (Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays) despite being one of the most dominant pitchers of all time.

Is the pain worth the gain?

In football, pain is the name of the game. The whole purpose is to collide with the opposition to prevent them from scoring. These collisions can lead to serious injury, including concussions and joint damage. This presents a dilemma for parents: is it worth risking injury to allow their kids the many experiences gained through the game?
