😴 Nightmares in Adults: More Than Just Bad Dreams

We’ve all had bad dreams, but for some people, nightmares happen often and can deeply affect their sleep, emotions, and mental health.

What are nightmares?
Nightmares are vivid, distressing dreams that can cause fear, anxiety, or sadness even after waking up. They can be linked to:
• Stress or trauma (like PTSD)
• Anxiety and depression
• Sleep problems
• Certain medications or lifestyle habits

Why it matters:
Frequent nightmares can disturb your sleep, increase stress, and even affect your daytime mood or focus. Research also shows a link between chronic nightmares and higher su***de risk, especially among people with PTSD.

Good news — Nightmares can be treated!

At Suburban, our mental health experts provide personalized, evidence-based therapies to treat sleep and nightmare-related issues. We focus on reducing distress, improving sleep quality, and helping you feel emotionally balanced again.

🌤 Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): When the Seasons Affect Your Mood

As the days get shorter and sunlight fades, many people experience more than just “winter blues.” Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, often appearing in fall or winter and lifting in spring.

Common Symptoms:
• Low mood and loss of interest in activities.
• Oversleeping and fatigue.
• Craving carbs and gaining weight.
• Trouble concentrating.
• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt.

How It’s Treated: Light therapy (special bright light exposure), therapy or medication, and lifestyle changes (staying active, eating well, and spending time outdoors).

At Suburban, we understand that depression can change with the seasons. Our therapists provide personalized therapy and coping strategies to help you manage SAD effectively, so you can feel brighter, no matter the time of year.

🧠 How Antidepressants Like Fluoxetine Help the Brain “Loosen Up” and Heal

Did you know that some antidepressants do more than just balance brain chemicals?
A new study has found that Fluoxetine (commonly known as Prozac) helps the brain become more adaptable and flexible, a process called brain plasticity.

Here’s how it works:
Fluoxetine doesn’t just boost serotonin levels — it also helps brain cells change the way they use energy and rebuild connections. This means it may help the brain “rewire” itself, breaking free from the rigid patterns often seen in depression.

In simpler terms, Fluoxetine might give your brain the space to heal and grow by making it more open to positive change.

At Suburban, we understand that healing from depression isn’t just about medication, it’s about creating the right environment for your brain and mind to thrive. Our professionals combine therapy, guidance, and support to help you make the most of that flexibility and move toward recovery.

🌸 The Threats to Mothers’ Mental Health

Motherhood is beautiful — but it can also take a toll on mental health. Recent surveys show that more moms than ever are reporting anxiety, depression, and burnout. Rising costs, daily stress, and constant caregiving often leave mothers feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained.

Many moms also delay getting help, believing they have to “handle it all”, but your mental health matters just as much as your family’s.

At Suburban Psychiatric Associates, we understand the mental load mothers carry. Our therapists and psychiatrists provide compassionate care for anxiety, depression, and burnout, helping you find balance, healing, and peace of mind.

🧠 Understanding Schizophrenia: Recognizing Its Symptoms

Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It can cause confusion, disorganized thoughts, and changes in behavior — but with the right care, it can be managed.

People with schizophrenia may experience two main types of symptoms:

🔹 Positive Symptoms
These are added experiences that aren’t typical in everyday life. They include:
• Hallucinations: Hearing or seeing things that aren’t really there.
• Delusions: Strong beliefs not based on reality (like feeling watched or followed).
• Disorganized thoughts or speech: Jumping between ideas or having trouble expressing thoughts clearly.

🔹 Negative Symptoms
These involve a loss of usual abilities or emotions. They include:
• Lack of motivation or energy.
• Reduced emotional expression (speaking less or showing fewer feelings).
• Social withdrawal or losing interest in activities and relationships.

At Suburban Psychiatric Specialists, we help individuals manage schizophrenia through personalized treatment, combining medication, therapy, and compassionate care to improve daily life and long-term stability.

You’re not alone — with the right support, recovery is possible.

Hearing Voices: What You Should Know

Did you know that about 1 in 10 people will hear voices at some point in their lives? While it can be linked to some mental health conditions, not everyone who hears voices has a mental illness.

Hearing voices, also called auditory hallucinations, means hearing sounds or speech that others can’t hear. These voices might be kind, neutral, or sometimes distressing — and everyone’s experience is different.

Why do people hear voices?
There are many possible reasons, such as:
• Traumatic life experiences or high stress.
• Lack of sleep or extreme fatigue.
• Side effects of medications or drug use.
• Mental health conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression.

At Suburban Psychiatric Specialists, we provide compassionate care for those experiencing auditory hallucinations. Our team uses therapy, medication management, and personalized treatment plans to help you understand your experience and regain control.

You’re not alone — help and healing are possible.
