The holiday season causes some to feel particularly overwhelmed, and learning how to manage stress — irrespective of season — is important to one’s overall health.

11/15/2025

As we approach Thanksgiving—a holiday filled with gratitude, family, and celebration—we also recognize that this season can bring added stress, emotional overwhelm, and pressure to “keep it all together.” At Midwest Psychiatric Care, we understand the complexities that come with the holidays and are here to offer support, encouragement, and practical tools to help you navigate this time with care and compassion.

✨ Holiday Hours Reminder:
Our office will be closed Wednesday, November 26th through Friday, November 28th for Thanksgiving.
We will resume normal business hours on Monday.

If you experience urgent mental health needs during this time, please call 211, or dial 911 in case of emergency.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and moments of rest this Thanksgiving season. 🧡

🌎💛 World Kindness Day 💛🌎

Today we’re reminded that kindness isn’t just a gesture — it’s medicine for the mind and heart.
Acts of kindness, whether big or small, can lower stress, improve mood, and strengthen our sense of connection — all vital for good mental health.

✨ Smile at a stranger.
✨ Offer encouragement to a friend.
✨ Be gentle with yourself.

At Midwest Psychiatric Care, we believe that kindness—toward others and ourselves—creates a ripple effect that supports healing and well-being in our communities. 💫

🕰️ End of Daylight Saving: Reset Your Routine 🕰️

On Sunday, November 2, we “fall back” an hour as Daylight Saving Time ends. While an extra hour of sleep may sound great, shifts in daylight can disrupt your body’s circadian rhythm—the internal clock that regulates sleep, energy, and mood.

Research shows that sudden changes in light exposure and sleep schedules can increase feelings of fatigue, low mood, and even anxiety (National Sleep Foundation, 2023). That’s why it’s important to stay consistent:
✅ Keep a regular bedtime and wake-up time.
✅ Limit screen time before sleep.
✅ Expose yourself to natural morning light to help your body adjust.

At Midwest Psychiatric Care, we remind patients that good sleep is more than rest—it’s a foundation for mental health. Use this time change as an opportunity to reset, recharge, and protect your wellness this fall.
