As we would not be careful, no one is immune from excesses - and more specifically, from illnesses. The incidence especially increases in the autumn period - when it would seem that the summer heat has not gone yet, but the cold winds already begin to penetrate everywhere, bringing with them not so long-awaited viral diseases and colds.

But, unfortunately, our seasonal diseases do not change the fact that the work does not stand still. Often many people do not consider going to a sick leave - and this is a lot of reasons, starting from the salary in the envelope - where you will not be paid for a hospital, and ending with a simple reluctance to stay at home for a while, exclusively treated - although the last cases are extremely rare.

Often, this solution goes sideways not only to the employee whose illness only worsens, but also to the company - the employee loses concentration, starts making simple errors, reduces productivity. It comes to the fact that some employers almost forcefully send people home, stay for the time of illness. Why not work during illness - at least in the office, we will consider in detail in this article.

Influence of cold on us In addition to general physical weakness and poor health, it's no secret that during illness people feel worse morally. According to a study conducted in 1999, during the cold, people and others around them note great pessimism, irritability and depression. Depressive conditions worsen.

This is due to the fact that during the illness due to the presence of a foreign virus in the body, the cells begin to produce proteins from the group of cytokines that signal that the body is "invader". When they get into the brain, it activates special protective mechanisms - which consist in the fact that you lose your appetite, the motivation disappears, the ability to concentrate on one thing decreases, the mood worsens.

All this was clarified a long time ago - in 2006, the study of Professor Reizon, specializing in the study of the impact of disease on the onset of depression. The study, published in 2015 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, argues that the disease reduces the level of proteins responsible for a good mood, and bouts of depression occur more often.

The scientists found this on the basis of MRI scans of the brain, the control groups included 20 people, 20 of whom were healthy, but suffered from depression, another 20 were recently ill and depressed, another group was completely healthy and joyful, and the last group - was ill, but did not observe signs of a depressive state. In the scans, the first and second groups found multiple similarities, the second being, according to scans, in a much worse state than the first.

The last group showed the best picture among the sick or suffering from depression - but on the scan there were still signs of a lower content of essential substances.

Unsurprisingly, the disease also affects the concentration. For starters, it's very hard to concentrate with the wadded head and "heavy", it seems, like cast-iron thoughts - so slowly they form in the mind. And secondly, according to a study published in 2012 in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity in 2012, during illness the reaction time is greatly reduced.

A group of 189 people (those who fell ill, recently sick and completely healthy) underwent tests for the reaction rate and the rate of formation of associative series, as well as the ability to quickly process information and learn something new during the period of the disease.

The results showed that, according to all the tests, those who were recently ill or who were ill at the time of passage showed results about half as worse than healthy people. But all these qualities are essential for productive and effective work.

Disease is the state of the human body when it is better to rest and direct all the forces to restore damaged areas of the body, and concerns this including the common cold. Do not torture yourself and your colleagues with your condition - stay home.
