✨ A new year doesn’t have to mean starting over — it can mean building resilience.

Resilience isn’t about never feeling overwhelmed. It’s about learning skills that help you cope and move forward when life gets hard.

This year, consider:
🤝 Staying connected with supportive people
🌿 Grounding yourself in the present moment
✨ Practicing kindness toward yourself

Small, compassionate steps matter.
If you need support, resources are available at NNDC.org.

The winter solstice brings the shortest day of the year, and the reduced sunlight can influence how some of us feel. For certain individuals, these seasonal changes contribute to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression connected to shifts in daylight.

Common experiences can include low mood, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty enjoying usual activities. If this time of year feels harder, you’re not alone, and support is available.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a growing part of how people seek mental health support. A recent survey found that 12% of adults are likely to use AI chatbots for treatment or therapy in the next six months, and 1% already are.

As these tools evolve, it’s important for the public to have clear, trustworthy information about both their potential and their limitations. At the NNDC, we’re committed to reducing stigma, advancing research, and supporting individuals living with depression and mood disorders, this includes sharing timely insights that may affect their care.
