Southwest Florida's Health and Wellness Magazine Health and Wellness Articles
October marked the 75th anniversary of World Mental Health Day, with the theme of Mental Health being a Universal Human Right. We all know that the holidays can be a very stressful time for everyone, especially for those who have ongoing mental health wellness issues. This added layer of stress can easily affect functioning and quality of life. Some common symptoms of stress include anxiety, sadness, headaches, body aches, inability to sleep, restlessness, and irritability.
A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that over 38 percent of those surveyed felt increased levels of stress, depression, and anxiety and reported more substance abuse during the holiday season.
At Ketamine Health Centers, we address these concerns through a holistic approach that individualizes treatment for each person based on their symptoms and needs. Our goal is to assist our clients in managing this stress in the healthiest possible ways, which will lead to fulfilling holiday experiences.
Here are a few general tips that could lead to more positive outlooks and events for this time of year:
1. Plan ahead, and make a list of “must do” items with dates attached of expected completion.
2. Put yourself first! Giving to others is often the complete focus, but we must also remember to give to ourselves if we are to continue to give to others. (Examples – yoga, massage, walk in nature, lunch with a friend, mindful breathing)
3. Be realistic about finances, only what you can comfortably afford. Being creative and staying within your budget will lower your stress. (4.) Give yourself permission to say “No” to those events that will only cause you to be overwhelmed. Say “Yes” to those that you know will bring you joy and happiness.
5. Come treat yourself to an Immunity Boost Alive nutritional infusion!
6. Honor loved ones who are no longer here. Celebrate their lives by reflecting or doing something meaningful in their honor.
7. Give Yourself Permission to Feel Good (from Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein): We need practices for feeling good in order to make feeling good a habit. We’ve given more faith and energy to the negativity in our minds, and it’s time to redirect our focus…The next time something doesn’t go your way, do something to feel good fast! Listen to your favorite guided meditation or your favorite song. Call a friend who always makes you laugh. Take a walk outside. Allow yourself to access happiness even in the midst of a difficult time. That joy will be your guide out of the negative experience. It’s totally fine to let yourself feel discomfort, but don’t be afraid to balance it with joy.
Ketamine Health Centers offers comprehensive clinical consultations, ongoing mental health therapy, medication evaluations, and alternative treatments, including Stellate Ganglion Blocks, IV Ketamine Infusions, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and ALIVE Nutritional Infusions.
According to research studies, infusions of ketamine to treat depression can be effective for 60-80% of individuals. Unlike traditional treatments, ketamine is safe, and patients report minimal side effects.
We are here for you and your loved ones. If you have questions or concerns about holiday stress or other mental health issues, please call or email us. Remember, Mental Health is a universal human right!
