It's that time of year again when the days are shorter, the nights are longer, and the weather is colder. For some of us, this change in season can bring about a shift in mood. Maybe you're feeling a little more tired, less motivated, or just not quite yourself. You might be experiencing the "winter blues." But how can you tell if it's something more serious, like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

While this time of year is typically filled with joy and celebration, it can also be a painful reminder of those we've lost.

Happy Holidays???

Anxiety isn't just a mental experience; it's a full-body experience. When we feel anxious, our bodies kick into "fight-or-flight" mode, releasing a surge of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This can trigger a whole cascade of physical symptoms that might have you wondering if something is seriously wrong.

ADHD often overlaps with other mental health conditions, particularly anxiety and depression. Imagine struggling with focus, organization, and impulsivity – it can lead to feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and low self-esteem. These challenges can, in turn, increase the risk of anxiety and depression.
