Democrats are stepping up their calls for a special prosecutor in the russia investigation but theyre also making a new request of the Senate Majority leader. I will be requesting the majority leader call a closed and if necessary classified all senators brief iing with the attorney general and Deputy Attorney general separately at which they can be asked questions. Before schumer made that announcement, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell spoke on the senate floor where he rejected calls for a special prosecutor in the wake of comeys firing. This firing came as a shock to the former director, tracie potts has a look at why the president made the decision and what this means for the russia investigation. Reporter the former fbi directors plane landed in washington early this morning. James comey got a call during a california trip confirmin been fired . The fbi director lost the confidence to lead the fbi. Reporter President Trump in a letter said comeys not able to effectively lead the bureau based on recommendations from the attorney general and his deputy who said comey was mistaken going public about the clinton email investigation. Democrats, many of whom said theyd also lost faith, are outraged now that hes been fired while investigating russian ties to President Trump. Its clear whats going on. Donald trump doesnt want anyone coming any place close to an active investigation. Its a brazen craven attempt in my view to stifle the rule of law. Reporter democrats meet to discuss the next step. If an independent special prosecutor is appointed there can be some faith that we can get to the bottom of this. Reporter republicans, to it came as a surprise to me but i wonder if it is not the inevitable conclusion. Reporter others say theyre troubled by the timing in the middle of the russia investigation.

Its springtime in washington, the warmer weather, increased daylight and spring flowers are helping to lift people out of those wintertime blues, right . Not exactly. Believe it or not, this time of the year is often the most challenging time emotionally for a lot of people. Here to talk about spring and its association with worsening Mental Illness is psychiatrist dr. Joshua winer. We appreciate you coming in today. My pleasure. This seems counterintuitive, you think most people would say improving weather improves your mood but you say not exactly. A lot of people associate lower mood with the wintertime, the wintertime blues, more light, better weather, you feel better, no. Not the case. In fact, what we know is that theyve been tracking suicide rates, april and may are consistently the months that have the highest suicide rates and actually the lowest months are the winter months, november and december so its the opposite of the myth that exists and what is interesting is its not just in the north northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere their version of spring is also the time with the highest rates of suicide. Is there a theory behind this destabilization that comes with this time of year . We dont know for sure but the theories are a couple things. Number one, maybe it has to do with increased exposure to light. Although increased light exposure helps many people with their mood there are a subset of people where it can cause destabilizing, particularly for people with bipolar disorder. The other thing is you lose an hour of sleep so that hour of sleep even though you think okay, its just an hour, that can mess some people up and the final thing and the one i find most intriguing is the tlier i we know that in the case of depression, at least, your immune system being activated, having inflammation in your body, is a trigger for people to be prone to developing depression. When your body as inflammation theres a release of something called cytokines and those are proteins that have been linked to depression so when people have allergies theyre getting a release of the cytokines and that may cause the low mood. Do you see these issues in your practice . Do people come to you saying i need help with everybody else is happy and im not . Absolutely. Its unbelievable. As a quick example, i have an emergency phone that i always have on me, inprobably average maybe one emergency call every couple weeks to a month. Over the last month or two ive been averaging one a day. And ive talked to a couple colleagues and theyre seeing the same thing in their practice. Thats anecdotal, but theres no doubt that i see this. Every spring but for whatever reason this particular spring has been a rough one. You talk about this idea that allergies might be a contributing factor. What advice do you have for people who have that feeling or thought . So if thats the case, you can certainly talk to your doctor, find out if its okay for you to taken a overthecounter allergy medication, zyrtec, allegra, claritin. Make sure youre washing your pillow cases and your hair so youre not sleeping in all the pollen that might be aggravating things and if you do have a relationship with a psychiatrist or doctor and you notice that every springtime you start to have these problems, you want to be proactive for the upcoming year so i have some patients who every march i know that theyll start having problems in the upcoming months and make adjustments to their medications to help prevent that. All right, some good advice. Dr. Joshua weiner, we appreciate. It my pleasure. Shes being hailed a hero for saving her great grandmother.
