Clinical depression, also called major depressive disorder (MDD), involves ongoing feelings of sadness, emptiness, apathy, and worthlessness. It can also cause symptoms like fatigue, problems with sleep, appetite changes, irritability, and chronic pain. Antidepressants help reduce these symptoms by balancing the level of certain neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain. Estimates suggest that about 13% of U.S. adults take antidepressants. Women are over twice as likely as men to take antidepressants regularly....
This time, the newest face to grace the bad boy archaeologist series is none other than Zorro himself, Antonio Banderas. The veteran actor, who also joined the cast of Tom Holland’s Uncharted film last year, will play a currently unknown role in the newest Indiana Jones entry, though it would certainly be nice to see him as an old friend of Indy.

Now, however, Nintendo has revealed that Final Fantasy 7’s Cloud Strife will be joining the fray – and the news is equal parts exciting and puzzling for aficionados of the Big N....

Every year, an estimated two million people sprain, strain, or fracture an ankle. Between 30% and 70% of them will be left with chronic ankle instability. That makes the joint weaker and more prone to injury. But the right stretches and ankle strengthening exercises can lower your risk of re-injury....
