October 1 means it's breast cancer awareness month.

The annual campaign to raise awareness of the disease also aims to teach women to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages.

The campaign was established in 1985 and helps raise funds for research into breast cancer's cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

The campaign also offers information and support to those impacted.

Work out - then drink up

A new study suggests that people could be doing more of their drinking on the same days they do the majority of their workouts.

Researchers say Thursdays and Sundays are typically the days when people work out the most.

Researchers asked 150 participants ages 19 to 89 to record their physical activity and alcohol consumption using smartphones.

The results suggested people tend to drink more when they are more active.

Some health experts say people are just rewarding themselves for working out.

Americans more depressed?

A study by San Diego State University shows Americans may be more depressed now than they have been in decades.
 
Analyzing data from 6.9 million adolescents and adults from all over the country,  SDSU psychology professor Jean M. Twenge found that Americans now report more psychosomatic symptoms of depression, such as trouble sleeping and trouble concentrating, than their counterparts in the 1980s.

Compared to their 1980s counterparts, teens in the 2010s are 38 percent more likely to have trouble remembering, 74 percent more likely to have trouble sleeping and twice as likely to have seen a professional for mental health issues.

College students surveyed were 50 percent more likely to say they feel overwhelmed, and adults were more likely to say their sleep was restless, they had poor appetite and everything was an effort -- all classic psychosomatic symptoms of depression.

"Despite all of these symptoms, people are not any more likely to say they are depressed when asked directly," Twenge said. "Again, suggesting that the rise is not based on people being more willing to admit depression."
