I think you're talking about heatstroke which can cause brain damage due to the occurence of the stroke.  But as for mental problems...no.

your mental health and social well being have been shown to have correlations with physical health\n\npeople that are happy and have friends and family to support them get sick less and recover faster and more fully when they do get sick (on average)

Yeah, I agree with what someone else said in a previous comment....If you're able to question rather or not you're crazy, chances are - You're Not!...Unfortunately, I had grown up around people that were mentally ill. (my Grandmother, & a cousin) who has been in & out of mental wards all their life...They didn't know they were ill, nor did they know what they were doing, saying, etc...

Anywhere COLD and snowy.  Hot sunny beaches are extremely depressing to me, summertime depressions me to the point of having to be medicated until cooler weather starts back.  It doesn't help that I'm also allergic to the sun.  I stay inside all summer with thermal drapes drawn and only come out at night, PS I also work as a Phlebotomist (drawing blood), hummmm, might be a connection there.  Seriously, anywhere COLD.

That's becuase it will enhance the effects of the sun. You will burn faster.

There are no mental illness that do not impair cognitive thinking but cause violence/violent tendencies. Only criminal behavior - and maybe tempory insanity (e.g. anger).\n\nHope this answers your question!

Lots of excersise, lots of sunlight, laughter, good friends, doing things you enjoy, really, sounds wishy washy, but try it.  If it doesn't work go to a doc and tell him your symptoms, or see a therapist.  Good Luck

Mental health is protected just like other illnesses - they cannot discrimminate against you in employment because of any hospitalization UNLESS the issue/disability would affect your current employment.  I would think if that were the decision they'd have to be able to back that up some kind of way. \nWhen I became a teacher I did have to fill out medical forms including my medical history and have a physical.  If you need to fill out such a form perhaps you could take it to your doctor and have him/her assist you in that.

Absolutely!\n\nI have a degree in "mind and body transformational psychology", and a lot illnesses are caused my mental, and emotional distress.  \n\nWhen you are not happy, you are out of balance, and it will cause minor medical conditions, that that can turn into major medical conditions.  \n\nObesity is one of the fastest growing medical diseases, and much of it is caused by stress, or abuse.

Fatigue is one of the symptoms of MS, and your not alone in feeling fatigued when in the sun. \n\nDo you keep up your fluids when out side? As a lack of fluids would certainly increase your fatigue levels, also do you apply a sunscreen?\n\nI worked with a lady who had has MS, she would also would become fatigued when very hot, she would also try to avoid being in the sun, as much as possible, partly because of the fatigue, and the sun exposure (she would not feel her skin burning). \n\nI would put her into bed for a rest about 2pm and take her back out about 5pm. I would leave 3 bottles of water for her each afternoon, and would have to replenish them when I returned to make her tea.\n\nTake care

Yes, all the answers above are correct. But here's a link. Remember to be safe when out in the sun though!

According to Reuters Health article \n\n" a Little Bit of Sun May be a Good Thing: Experts" by Anne Harding, researchers spoke at the annual meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, on the positive effects of solar radiation on the human body. Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University School of Medicine noted that vitamin D helps keep bones strong, and helps control cell growth. \n\nBut don't overdo it. Too much sun without protection can damage your skin. No need to spend hours and hours at the beach. But do make sure to spend some time, every season, in the sun to keep your body strong and healthy. And getting some sun is another reason to lace up those running shoes, get out the door, and go for a run.\n\nMelanoma skin cancer is caused by too much sun exposure but keep in mind everyone's skin is different and offers different levels of protection due to their amout of pigment in their skin. Black people can stay in the sun much longer than white people due their high amount of pigment in their skin. Black people do still burn and do still get skin cancer however, just that their at a lower risk of it. Bottom line here is to get some sun regularly and then cover up! I am not positive that sunblock stops the production of Vitamin D so you might want to ask that question. Good luck!

Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and has nothing to do with sunlight or exercise.  I've never heard of preventing it from happening.  I have suffered from depression my whole life.  Five years ago I found the right medication for me - Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Abilify.  That was after several years of experimenting with various medications.  I have no depression or side affects and I am living a normal and happy life......)(

Occasionally I take a "sick of work" day just to make my vacation days last longer.  I also call them "mental health days"  because if I don't take off work sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall apart.
