PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) are both responses your nervous system can have to trauma. They don’t always show up the same way.

PTSD is officially recognized in the DSM-5 and often develops after a single traumatic event. You might notice things like flashbacks, wanting to avoid reminders, feeling jumpy, or always being on edge.

C-PTSD isn’t a separate diagnosis in the DSM-5, but it is no less real. It often follows long-term or repeated trauma, often from childhood. Along with PTSD symptoms, you might struggle with emotions, self-worth, or relationships.

No matter which you experience, both PTSD and C-PTSD can cause feelings of being on edge, unwanted memories, sleep problems, cognitive difficulties, numbness, or not feeling safe in your own body.

The good news: both are treatable. You don’t need the right label to seek help.

A mental health professional can help you understand your experience and find support. Frontier Psychiatry is here for you, wherever you are in your healing journey.

Today, we honor our pharmacists—the experts who keep us safe, informed, and cared for.

At Frontier Psychiatry, we’re thankful for our pharmacists who work with us every day to ensure patients receive the right medication, the right dose, and the support they need to manage their mental health safely.

Pharmacists do more than fill prescriptions. They check drug interactions, advise patients, and advocate for safe, effective care. Their expertise guides recovery, reduces risk, and builds patient confidence.

To all pharmacists on our team and beyond, thank you for the vital role you play in patient safety and health. Your work makes a difference every single day!

Dry January is an invitation to avoid alcohol for a fresh start and a chance to support your mental health.

Taking a break from alcohol can:
⤷ Improve sleep quality.
⤷ Reduce anxiety or mood fluctuations.
⤷ Give your body and brain a reset.
⤷ Help you notice patterns in how alcohol affects your mental health.

This month, take the opportunity to change your habits. By the end, you may even find yourself reaching for alcohol less in the months to follow. Remember, any amount of mindfulness or moderation is a win, so don’t get hung up on perfection.

If you're trying Dry January, stick to a plan and pay attention to how your mood, sleep, and stress respond. Whether you're aiming for sobriety, or just trying to reduce your alcohol consumption, your mental health is worth the effort.

The language we use influences how people think and feel about mental health and recovery, shaping attitudes and behaviors. Research shows that specific word choices can encourage understanding and hope, while negative language reinforces stigma or discourages progress in recovery.

Instead of labeling by diagnosis, we can show respect for the whole person. That’s why more people are choosing their words carefully in conversations, online, and in care settings. Person-first, empathetic language helps others feel respected and understood.

You might not always get it right, but when you notice the power of words and make small changes, you help others feel seen and valued.

If this is new, that’s okay. Awareness is a great first step. With the start of the new year, this can be a perfect place to begin noticing your words and choosing language that reflects care and empathy.

We’re happy to announce that Frontier Psychiatry will lead a new pilot study using BrainCheck eConsult, a tool that links primary care providers with cognitive specialists. Supported by the NIH, this platform is designed to make expert help easier to reach.

Dr. Nathan Bell will lead the study, focusing on how the platform works in real clinics. The aim is to determine whether it helps more people in rural and underserved areas access the specialty cognitive care they need.

At Frontier Psychiatry, we dedicate ourselves to using technology to remove barriers and make care easier for everyone. Through this project, we take another step toward helping people get earlier evaluations, better access, and smoother transitions between care teams.

The holidays bring many emotional expectations. Not everyone feels joyful, connected, or at ease—and that’s okay.

Your nervous system doesn’t reset just for a holiday. Stress, grief, exhaustion, loneliness, or numbness can still appear. Feeling neutral is okay, too. Not every holiday has to be meaningful or memorable.

If today feels chaotic, heavy, quiet, or ordinary, there’s nothing wrong with you. Take breaks if you need them. Rest when you can. Care for yourself in small ways. You’re allowed to meet the day honestly.

Getting enough sleep helps you feel balanced, focused, and healthy. When stress keeps you awake, it can make life feel overwhelming. The good news: small changes can help you relax, improve your sleep, and boost your energy and mood.

Struggling to sleep? Set an alarm for the same time each day. Build a calming routine before bed, like reading or stretching. Silence electronic devices 30 minutes before sleep. Adjust lighting and bedding for comfort. Avoid caffeine or heavy meals at night. In the morning, open your curtains to let in sunlight and take a short walk outside. Consistency can make a big difference.

Be gentle with yourself to calm your mind and sleep better. If you wake up, do deep breathing or quietly read. If anxious thoughts come up, tell yourself you can handle them later. You can get restful sleep, even during tough times.

Explore and share with anyone seeking support.

If you’ve called yourself lazy lately, pause for a moment to reflect. You may be experiencing burnout, not a lack of motivation.

Burnout happens when your nervous system is exposed to prolonged stress without a chance to recover, and we often mislabel ourselves as lazy when we don’t recognize that we’re depleted. Exhaustion is not a personal failing, especially during this busy time of year.

If this resonates, be gentle with yourself, take breaks, and remember you deserve care. Or share this post with someone who could use a gentle reminder to rest.
