Gambling Disorder can affect anyone, but athletes are particularly vulnerable due to their competitive drive, ready access to funds, and thrill-seeking tendencies.

Effective treatments for Gambling Disorder include

*Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

*family therapy, group therapy

*Psychodynamic therapy.

Sadly, only 1 in 10 individuals struggling with this disorder reach out for help, as reported by the American Psychiatric Association.

Don't let stigma hold you back—seek support and take the first step toward recovery today!

In observance of October ADHD Awareness month, join us as we debunk some common misconceptions.

1. “ADHD is just about being hyper.”

ADHD affects attention, emotional regulation, and executive function—not just physical energy. Many people with ADHD are not hyperactive at all.

2. “People with ADHD just need to try harder.”
ADHD isn’t a motivation issue—it’s a neurological difference. Support, structure, and understanding are far more effective than pressure.

3. “ADHD only affects kids.”
ADHD is lifelong. Many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD or develop coping strategies that mask their symptoms.

4. “ADHD looks the same in everyone.”
It can show up differently across genders, ages, and personalities. For example, inattentiveness or emotional sensitivity may be overlooked, especially in women and girls.

5. “ADHD isn’t real—it’s just an excuse.”
ADHD is a clinically recognized condition backed by decades of research. Dismissing it invalidates real experiences and creates barriers to care.

Remember, ADHD isn’t about lack of effort—it’s about how the brain navigates focus, energy, and emotion. It can look like creativity in motion, or like overwhelm in disguise.

October has arrived...

A month of golden light, falling leaves, and quiet shifts.
Let it be a gentle invitation: to embrace change with grace, and to honor the sacred pause.
When life feels heavy, our instinct is often to brace—tighten, retreat, endure. But healing sometimes asks us to soften. To move with the storm, not against it.
To dance—not in denial, but in truth.
To meet grief, uncertainty, and resilience as they rise together.
Dancing through hard seasons means choosing breath over burnout, presence over perfection.

It’s finding beauty in the mess, meaning in the movement, and courage in simply continuing.

In a culture that equates toughness with survival, softness is a radical act. Resilience can look like setting boundaries, asking for help, or choosing rest.

It’s not just grit—it’s grace.
It’s not just endurance—it’s emotional integrity.
It’s the courage to evolve, even when the path is uncertain.
It’s the grace to become someone wiser, softer, stronger.

How’s your job treating your mind?

A new study in Jama Network News of 460,000+ workers reveals that certain occupations carry a heavier mental health toll. Arts, food service, healthcare support, and sales roles show significantly higher rates of depression and frequent mental distress.

What helps?
Social support, control over work, and a sense of accomplishment.

What hurts?
Excessive demands, low support, and lack of meaning.

Let this be a reminder: your mental health matters. If your work is taking too much from you, it’s okay to reassess. You deserve balance, support, and peace.
