The latest edition of Catholic Health World highlights our very own Dr. Carlos Albrecht, who travels to Peru twice yearly to provide essential cardiac care. Inspired by his mother’s treatment in Lima, he supplies pacemakers, defibrillators, and medical training to public hospitals lacking resources.

Dr. Albrecht’s story reminds us of the power of service, especially as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Like Dr. King, Dr. Albrecht acts with courage, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to justice, working to bridge disparities in healthcare both at home and abroad.

"I'm not a prophet. I'm not a preacher," Albrecht says. "But I have a moral north. And I tell my kids: Always keep your moral north. When you're blessed to have things, just give it to others."

Shorter days, colder weather, and busy schedules can take a toll on mental health. For some, it’s more than the “winter blues.” Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that can affect mood, energy, sleep, and daily life.

Signs can look different for everyone—feeling low most of the day, losing interest in things you enjoy, changes in sleep or appetite, or struggling to get through everyday tasks. And these feelings can affect not just you, but the people around you.

The good news: SAD is treatable. Support may include light therapy, counseling, healthy routines, and, when needed, medication. Small steps—like getting outside during daylight, prioritizing sleep, and setting realistic expectations—can also help.

💙 If your mood is interfering with daily life, don’t brush it off. Support is available, and asking for help is a sign of strength.
