13. Stress is one of the things that triggers me.
I used to have to fly fairly often for work, and the lines, inspections, and various delays and screwups stressed me majorly. I was always depressed and exhausted by the time I got home.

It sounds like it might be worthwhile to do some studies on how travel can affect a variety of mental health conditions, so that people can be prepared and find ways of dealing with their issues. (Especially since air travel continues to get worse, not better.)
