A new report shows that Utah ranks 14th in the nation for how strongly seasonal changes impact depression. Mental health experts say shorter days, reduced sunlight, and the emotional weight of the holidays can all contribute to feeling low or disconnected this time of year.

Justin Hatch, Director of Behavioral Health Services here at Ogden Regional Medical Center, notes that people may also feel isolated or left out of family gatherings, which can intensify symptoms. Hatch spoke with Tina Giuliano Tuesday morning on Good Day Utah ahead of the Christmas holiday.

🧠 A is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. It can rupture without warning, leading to a life-threatening stroke. Many aneurysms go undetected so it’s critical to be aware of the most common symptom as well as risk factors.

Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, caregivers treated more than 3,000 brain aneurysms last year. HCA Healthcare has 43 comprehensive stroke centers and cares for more than 70,000 patients admitted for stroke treatment annually.

If you’re concerned about your risk for an aneurysm, talk to your doctor. And if you have a sudden, severe headache, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Know where to find emergency care near you: https://bit.ly/4s5J9NH

Button batteries are used to power many consumer electronic devices, including toys, digital watches, hearing aids, and remote controls. If ingested, they can cause devastating injury in as little as two hours.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there were more than twice the number of pediatric battery-related visits to the ER in 2010-2019 than there were in the previous decade. Many children were able to go home after treatment, but 12% needed to be hospitalized and over 40 children have died from button battery injury since 2010.

Dr. Chad Nicholls, the Market Medical Director over Utah's CareNow Urgent Care, joined Good Day Utah's Dan Evans & Kelly Chapman this week on FOX 13 News to send a warning to parents and grandparents.

Prevention Tips:
🔵 Be aware of button batteries in your home
🔵 Choose products with secure battery compartments
🔵 Keep batteries out of reach & out of sight
🔵 Secure your battery storage box
🔵 Dispose of batteries immediately and safely
