"In most people with seasonal affective disorder, depression and other features appear in the fall and winter months and subside in the spring and summer months" - medlineplus.gov

HAPPY SPRING 🌹🌸🌼🌞☀️🌻

The seasons have a strong connection to how we are feeling. The literal light at the end of the tunnel is coming for a large amount of the population who struggle with seasonal affective disorder. Remember that even when we are feeling better we still want to maintain active in our skills/therapy/ and mindfulness.

It's also important to remember, that though it's a small percentage, the spring and summer months could trigger depression for some so reach out for support!

We have immediate self pay openings starting in April with an amazing clinician who has Monday through Friday availability 9am-5pm.

The National Institute of Mental Health gathered information from a 2020 National Survey on drug use and health and found;

-An estimated 21.0 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode.
-This number represented 8.4% of all U.S. adults.
-The prevalence of major depressive episode was higher among adult females (10.5%) compared to males (6.2%).
-The prevalence of adults with a major depressive episode was highest among individuals aged 18-25 (17.0%).
-The prevalence of major depressive episode was highest among those who report having multiple (two or more) races (15.9%).

Long story short, even when your mind and thoughts work hard at making you feel alone, there are so many others out there dealing with similar things.

Its okay to ask for help when you need. At our practice we are always ready to be that helping resource.

"Trans youth deserve gender-affirming care and to be able to live their true, authentic selves without fear and oppression. I stand with trans youth and their families."- Elliot page

Affirming gender identity for youths is the antithesis of abuse. Statistics show an increased rate of suicidality, depression and anxiety in individuals who experience dysphoria and lack of support or ability to live their truth.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called on state agencies to conduct "prompt and thorough investigations" into the use of gender-affirming care for transgender youths.
