    The New Year is upon us and, of course, we’re all looking for new ways to become the best version of ourselves. Starting a new workout routine, looking for a new job, or starting a new degree are at the top of the list for new years resolutions. But what about our mental health? It’s a lot harder to determine the quality of our mental health and emotional well-being – sometimes to the point where it can results in burnout, depression, and anxiety and a whole host of mental health issues. 1. Be Honest With Yourself Honesty is the best…

    Mental Health and Social Media Interview with TAMUC

    May 3, 2024 - By Ave

    Hello everyone! I’m getting back into the swing of things by posting one my favorite interviews that I’ve done with Texas A&M Commerce. In this interview, I once again have the pleasure of being interviewed by Dr. McShane regarding the link between social media usage and a decline in mental health. While our technology has created unlimited advancements throughout the world, in the realm of mental health, we’ve seen a steady decline of good healthy habits and an increase in maladaptive behaviors and thoughts. I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. McShane. As always, if you or a loved…

    Seasonal Affective Disorder Interview with TAMUC

    May 1, 2024 - By Ave

    Hello everyone! As we turn the corner to spring, I thought it would be neat to revisit my interview I did with Texas A&M University over SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD is a form of recurrent depressive disorder. While depression can strike at any time, this type of depression focuses on the onset of depressive episodes at a specific time of year (ie summer or winter). Please note that for a possible SAD diagnosis, this would not include depressive events such as unemployment or losing a loved one during the holidays. Please enjoy my interview with Dr. McShane. As always,…
