Do you want to feel brighter? Maybe all you need is a little sunshine. You know, it seems that America has a growing depression problem. Psychologist John Huber says a simple lack of sunlight could be the trouble for some people.

Dr. Huber: "Getting sunlight is very significant. In fact, uh study done recently by Blue Cross Blue Shield said there was an increase in every state except for Hawaii for the percentage of depression that we have out there. It may be the main cause right there."

Mark Nuce: And he says the Seattle area is one of the worst for depression probably because it's cloudy and rainy all the time, but Dr. Huber says don't be fooled. Sunlight can't help everybody. There are lots of causes for depression.

Dr. Huber: "We experience it for different reasons. The significant loss of a loved one or something like that as well as just the neurochemical problem that people think of as the mental health issue."

Mark Nuce: And he also says,

Dr. Huber: "Being angry at the world for different things. That's one of the theories behind it. Another theory behind it is that there is disalignment of your neuro chemical transmitters in your brain serotonin, norepinephrine and or dopamine."

Mark Nuce: And he says that depression is rising fastest among American teenagers. He says if you're feeling depressed or you know a loved one who is depressed. It's time to see a mental health professional.

Kimberly Schwind from AAA Ohio brings us up-to-date on how deadly the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is statistically for teen drivers.

AAA is leading an effort to modernize Ohio’s young driver licensing system through supporting HB 293, the “Young Driver Protection Bill,” sponsored by Reps. Gary Scherer (R) and Michael Sheehy (D). The bill would make Ohio’s roads safer by giving teen drivers more experience behind the wheel through two small, but important adjustments to Ohio’s current licensing system:

Lengthening the Temporary Instruction Permit phase from six to 12 months.
Beginning supervised nighttime driving protections for novice teen drivers at 10 p.m., rather than midnight. (This is not a curfew – instead, supervised nighttime driving.)
