The year-end sprint significantly elevates the mental load on women, often making pre-existing issues critical. Specific conditions managed include Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Anxiety, Perinatal Mood Disorders and mood destabilisation associated with the menopause transition. Recognising the need for professional psychiatric care is not an indulgence, it is an essential clinical priority.

The conclusion of the academic year's high-stress period often initiates a phase of significant psychological fatigue, known as 'let-down' anxiety or burnout, in children and adolescents.

Do not normalise sustained emotional withdrawal, sleep disruption, or persistent focus issues. These symptoms, including exacerbated ADHD challenges, warrant clinical assessment. Specialist intervention is available to help recalibrate their mental health. Dr Sebothoma, with her dedicated care in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, is equipped to provide professional support required to navigate this critical transition.

The transition to South African summer can disrupt psychological stability. Increased daylight and social demand often challenge those managing Bipolar disorder, due to sleep cycle interference and potential for manic episodes, or Major Depressive Disorder, due to fatigue and inability to meet social expectations. Proactive management of sleep hygiene and routine is not a luxury, it is a clinical necessity. Consult a specialist if you note increasing instability.

A very common observation in Addiction Psychiatry is that addiction rarely exists in isolation. It is often a co-occurring condition, or co-morbidity, with other mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, or trauma. A person may turn to substances to cope with overwhelming emotional pain, leading to a complex cycle where one condition exacerbates the other. At our practice, we believe in treating the person as a whole, addressing both the addiction and any underlying mental health issues to offer a more holistic and sustainable path to recovery.

In children and adolescents, a very common observation is that mental health struggles don't always present as sadness. Instead, they can manifest as behavioural problems, a sudden decline in school performance, or even withdrawal from friends and hobbies. What might seem like 'bad behaviour' can often be a cry for help. It's crucial for parents and guardians to look beyond the surface and consider the underlying emotional distress. Early intervention can make a profound difference in a young person's life, setting them up for a healthier future.

While most people with Bipolar Disorder manage their symptoms with medication and therapy, an unmanaged severe episode can, in very rare complications, lead to a state of psychosis or even catatonia. During these extreme episodes, a person may experience hallucinations, delusions, or become unable to move or speak. This is an important reminder of why early diagnosis and consistent professional care are so vital. Bipolar Disorder is a serious medical condition that requires careful and expert management to prevent these dangerous complications and ensure a stable, fulfilling life.

We often think of depression and anxiety as purely emotional states, but a very common observation is that they can also manifest as physical symptoms.

For instance, feelings of sadness can present as unexplained back pain, headaches, or stomach issues. Similarly, anxiety can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or a racing heart, often leading people to think they're having a medical emergency. These are your body's way of signalling a mental health struggle. Acknowledging these physical signs is a crucial first step towards getting the help you need, because your mind and body are intrinsically linked.

This month, we'll be sharing insights into conditions like major depression, anxiety, and more, because your mental well-being is always worth talking about. Let's break the silence together.
