The holidays don’t always feel joyful for everyone. For many, this season can feel heavy, lonely, or overwhelming, and that’s more common than people realize.
December is Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Month, a reminder that mental health matters, especially during the darker days. Whether you’re leaning on routines, loved ones, movement, or simply getting through one day at a time, every coping strategy counts.
When the holidays feel heavy or lonely, what helps you get through it. Comment below to share and to be entered into our weekly December gift card giveaway.
Your answer could help someone else feel a little less alone this season. ❤️🎄
We are currently accepting new patients with three convenient locations in East Cobb, South Atlanta, and Austell. If you or someone you love needs support this season, help is available.

December marks Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Month, and if this time of year feels heavier for you, we want you to know something: you’re not alone, and what you’re feeling is valid. 💛
SAD can show up as low energy, sadness, irritability, or just not feeling like yourself. The good news? It’s treatable — and support truly helps.

Avant Interventional Psychiatry was founded in 2017 by Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu. Upon moving to the Atlanta area he continued his work with local inpatient hospitals as well as underserved populations in hospitals specializing in psychiatric consults for comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. After making the decision to call this community home, he decided that he wanted to take part in making the lives of the people in our area better with a deeper reach towards mental wellness. Throughout his years of work in mental health and particularly with complex and severe mental illness, Dr. Justin realized an interventional piece was needed to bridge the gap in psychiatric treatment. By intervening in the lives of patients before hospitalization and being able to assess the true complexity of their mental health needs we hope to replace years of suffering with more years of healthy living and peace of mind.
ABOUT THE OWNER
Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu received his medical degree from the College of Health Sciences at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife Nigeria. He then moved to the United Kingdom to attend the Royal College of Psychiatry to specialize in Psychiatry. Upon completion of his education in Europe, he moved to the United States and completed his residency at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Dr. Justin is a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in eight states and is currently a member of the American Psychiatric Association. He specializes in comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. He founded Avant Behavioral Consultants in 2017 which now operates as Avant Interventional Psychiatry, an outpatient private practice specializing in: treatment resistant psychiatric services, tele-psychiatry, therapy/counseling sessions, substance abuse treatment [and/or suboxone therapy], and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy.
