Valentine's Day isn't just about love - it can also bring loneliness.

As Valentine's Day approaches, many of us feel the weight of being single, grieving a relationship, or longing for deeper connection. While it's easy to brush off these feelings, they're real and valid - and for some, this day can intensify existing struggles with loneliness and depression.

Recognizing the Signs:
✔ Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
✔ Comparing yourself to others or feeling "not enough"
✔ Social withdrawal or isolation
✔ Increased anxiety around social situations
✔ Negative self-talk about your worth or lovability

Research shows loneliness can significantly impact mental and physical health. Your relationship status doesn't define your value, and struggling on days like Valentine's Day doesn't make you weak.

When to Seek Help:
If feelings of loneliness or sadness persist beyond this day or interfere with your daily life, reach out to a mental health professional. You deserve support and compassion.

Even if you don't have insurance, Aadhar, in partnership with North Texas Behavioral Health Authority, can help at low-cost or no-cost to you. Learn more at https://www.myaadhar.org.

Seasonal Depression is more than just winter blues.

As winter settles in, many of us feel more tired, withdrawn, or down. While it's easy to dismiss these as "winter blues," they could signal Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - a recognized form of clinical depression that follows a seasonal pattern.

Recognizing the Signs:
✔ Persistent sadness or hopelessness
✔ Loss of interest in activities you enjoy
✔ Low energy and fatigue
✔ Oversleeping or changes in appetite
✔ Social withdrawal

SAD is linked to reduced sunlight during winter months, which disrupts your internal clock and affects mood-regulating brain chemicals. It's not a character flaw - it's a medical condition that affects millions.

When to Seek Help:
If these symptoms persist for weeks or interfere with daily life, reach out to a mental health professional. Effective treatments exist, including therapy, light therapy, and medication.

Even if you don't have insurance, Aadhar can help at low-cost or no-cost to you. Learn more at https://www.myaadhar.org

The holidays are often called "the most wonderful time of the year" — but for many, they're the hardest.

64% of people living with mental illness report that their conditions worsen during the holidays, and 50% of Americans worry about affording holiday gifts.

The pressure to be joyful can make it even harder to speak up when you're struggling. At Aadhar - Mental Wellness, we know that mental health doesn't take a holiday — and neither does our commitment to you.

If you or someone you know is facing financial barriers to mental health care this season, we're here. Quality mental health support should never be out of reach.

At the Regal Radiance by Silk Threads by Ruby Bhandari charity event, benefitting Aadhar - Mental Wellness and the The Akanksha Education Fund Inc. , Harini Madhira (Founder, Cisne for Arts & Entertainments LLP & President, TiE Dallas ) and Ayesha Mayhugh (Managing Director, HEXA Global Ventures & TiE Dallas Board Member) shared why supporting mental health in our community matters now more than ever.

Both leaders emphasized their deep commitment to giving back and standing behind organizations that uplift families, women, and youth. They spoke about the growing awareness around mental well-being—highlighting how social media, workplace pressures, and increasing isolation, especially among teens and women, have made mental health support essential.

They reminded us that wellness isn’t just physical; it’s emotional, psychological, and rooted in feeling valued and understood. As Harini shared, "True well-being begins with happiness—free from comparison and unrealistic expectations."

Ayesha echoed this sentiment: "We don’t need to be superhuman. We just need to be human—and support one another."

We’re grateful for their leadership, advocacy, and heartfelt support of Aadhar’s mission.
