Mirror, mirror on the wall what's the most pervasive barrier of them all? - Stigma.

Stigma surrounding mental health and different diagnoses along with structural, community and cultural limitations, differences and beliefs in relation to mental health, creates the biggest barrier to seeking treatment and prevents those suffering with mental health concerns from finding professional help.

1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year
1 in 20 experience serious mental illness
1 in 7 youth experience mental health concerns
2 in 5 incarcerated people suffer from mental illness, with them being booked in jails over 2 million times per year
Women 2x as likely as men to report mental illness
70% of youth in the system
55% of veterans jailed reported experiencing mental illness
1 in 4 individuals shot and killed by police were suffering from a mental health condition.
Only 52% of adults sought treatment
Non-Hispanic Asian: 32.5%
Non-Hispanic Black or African American: 38.5%
Hispanic or Latino: 44.1%
Multiracial: 52.0%
Non-Hispanic White: 57.9%

Along with identified areas with shortages of mental health professionals for over 120 million people, especially those in rural areas with reduced access to virtual care as well, stigma additionally prevents reaching out for help in the first place, with the average person seeking treatment 11 years after onset of symptoms.

Managing mental health alone is challenging, and it not only impacts the individual on every system and functional level, it also effects family, friends and the community. Knowing that you are not alone and that seeking help is a strength is an important step in breaking the cycle of stigma and moving towards a healthier self and society and we are here for you along the way.

Some say that managing ADHD can feel like treading water—some coping strategies keep you afloat, while others just keep you from sinking. It is important to consider your unique picture, as you create strategies, accommodations and modifications.

There are several healthy strategies to help you cope, manage and make life easier and more enjoyable instead of the burnout from trying to keep your head above water.

Quick fixes might work momentarily, but they often lead to stress and burnout, with adopting sustainable strategies consistently you can go from surviving to thriving. By developing structure and keeping it consistently, these habits can calm the overwhelm.
• Focus on your environment, keeping it organized and clear of distractions
• Use visual reminders like calendars, timers and to do lists for staying on track
• Deal with certain household tasks on a daily basis to keep them from building up
• Break down tasks into smaller 'chunks' and keep on track
• Create a system for 'brain dumping' to capture the creative ideas and thoughts to not derail focus
• Apply the STOP method to take a pause before impulse emotions and decision making
◦ Stop - Pause
◦ Take a breath - Reset
◦ Observe - Notice thoughts, emotions and surrounding
◦ Proceed mindfully - Respond with intention and thoughtfulness
• Maintain healthy habits of sleep, eating nutrient dense meals loaded with Omega-3's, and regular exercise you enjoy
• Incorporate mindfulness and breathing techniques to address stress and tension

Using a multi-layered systematic approach that addresses your unique story and uses your strengths to organize and implement structures, routines, and tools can set you up for success to address procrastination, impulsive decisions, disorganization, sense of self-worth and the inevitable stress, and overwhelm.

With practice and patience it is possible, and we are here to partner with you along the way.

Feeling slower, lower, or more tired as late fall settles in? You are not alone. Seasonal shifts in mood and energy are common, and tracking them gives you useful information. Take two minutes today to note your energy, sleep, and mood, then look for patterns over the week. 📝

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, often beginning in fall and continuing through winter. Low mood, loss of interest, changes in sleep or appetite, and low energy that last most days for two weeks or more are worth talking to a professional about.

Samaritan Counseling Center offers professional counseling to support you through seasonal and life transitions. Reach out to schedule an appointment: 248-474-4701 / sccmich.org

The signs of depression go beyond simply sad or persistently feeling down. Development of depression is not a choice, or something someone can 'just get over'. Depression can be due to many factors and impacts more than just mood.

Having an imbalance in neurotransmitters that balance mood or inflammation may cause depression. Women tend to experience depression more than men, research is not clear but hormonal factors and natural gender roles and tendencies towards managing multiple responsibilities may contribute. Difficult experiences, negative thinking patterns and self-esteem, and chronic illness are also common co-occurring contributors to the development of depression.

Fortunately, depression is also highly treatable! Evaluation, support, life style shifts and stress management is a free screening away.

Happy Mental Illness Awareness Week and Depression Screening Day!

ADHD Awareness Month! A Community of Support

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder: a problem with the chemical dynamics of the brain and it’s not under voluntary control.

ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and other conditions; which may make the condition harder to diagnose and have serious consequences such as interfering with school, work and relationships.

Teens and adults with ADHD are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, unsafe sexual activity, and are at increased risk for poor job performance and financial problems. Left untreated or unmanaged, frequently those with ADHD struggle with poor grades, experience family stress and disruption, strain in social relationships, are more susceptible to substance abuse, delinquency, accidental injuries and job failure.

Comprehensive evaluation and early identification and treatment are extremely important.

Today we recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day and honor the history, resilience, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities. Historical trauma and cultural disconnection can shape mental health across generations.

Mental health care is strongest when it respects cultural identity and lived experience. 🌱
