Help Loved Ones Seek Support, Medical Help Early for Holiday Anxiety, Depression

The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it can be difficult for people struggling with depression and anxiety.

Physicians say it is important to recognize some common signs of behavioral health decline and seek medical help as soon as

possible.

“Every problem is easier to solve if you solve it right when it first happens and don’t wait.

There are a lot more mental health problems due to people not getting treatment than people getting treatment too early,” said

Sarah Lynnette Martin, MD, a member of the Texas Medical Association (TMA) Committee on Behavioral Health. She is a psychiatrist at Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso and an assistant professor at Texas Tech Health El Paso.

Dr. Martin urges families and friends to check on loved ones during the holidays, especially those with a history of depression and anxiety, and look for changes in their moods.

“At the holidays they’re making excuses not to come to events that they’ve always enjoyed,” she offered as one example. “They’ve lost that spark of enjoying life.”

Changes in sleeping patterns and appetite also are indicators that someone is not feeling well.

Physicians say losing a loved one and loneliness are common reasons for feeling depressed during the holidays.

“It’s so easy to be lonely these days,” said Dr. Martin. “It used to be you had to go to the grocery store and you had to go to the post office, and you knew all those people that you would see there.” But with more people working from home and with groceries and gifts being delivered to people’s doorsteps, the reasons for going out have dwindled. Removing those dayto-day interactions can contribute to loneliness.

Dr. Martin also points out that winter’s shorter days and

less sunlight also can affect people’s moods. She said it is important for people to get out in the sunshine during the winter.

“People do better mentally if they have more sunlight. So, getting outside in the middle of the day is a great idea,” she said. She also recommends exercising during the holidays to stay physically and mentally fit.

Losing a loved one can also make the holidays especially difficult. To counter this feeling, Dr. Martin recommends celebrating the memory of people they have lost.

“It can be sad, but mostly it’s beneficial to people,” she said.

“If you do something special and remember them, most likely the good will outweigh the bad.”

Dr. Martin warns that there are two worst-case scenarios that need immediate medical attention: thoughts of self-harm or a suicide attempt.

If someone is feeling suicidal, Dr. Martin recommends they be taken to a psychiatric hospital.

If the individual has inflicted self-harm they should go to an emergency department.

Before a situation escalates to that, however, it is important to

ask those who are struggling with depression how they are feeling, including even asking them if they have suicidal thoughts. “There’s a lot of research that shows asking someone if they’re suicidal does not make them suicidal. Asking if they’re suicidal lets them understand how seriously you are taking their symptoms,” said Dr. Martin.

Anyone suffering emotionally and mentally during the holidays and wishing to talk to someone can call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline – available daily, 24 hours a day. The TMA behavioral health webpage also has resources to help people struggling with loneliness and anxiety.

TMA is the largest state medical society in the nation, representing more than 57,000 physician and medical student members. It is located in Austin and has 110 component county medical societies around the state. TMA’s key objective since 1853 is to improve the health of all Texans.

Students Invited to Participate in 2024-2025 Celebrate the Holidays with Caution Letters About Literature Texas Competition Tips to have a safe Christmas season

Texas 4th-12th graders are invited to participate in Letters About Literature Texas, an annual writing competition administered by the Texas Center for the Book.

Students select a book, book series, essay, play, poem, short story or speech and write a letter to an author—living or dead— explaining how his or her work changed their view of themselves or the world. Submissions will be accepted through Feb. 3, 2025.

The contest is open to all Texas students, grades 4-12, including public, private and homeschool.

First through third place winners are awarded in three categories: grades 4-6, grades 7-8, grades 9-12. The first-place prize is $300; second place $200; and third place $100. First place winners will also receive a travel stipend to attend the Texas Library Association 2025 Annual Conference in

Dallas in April, where they will be recognized with a special awards ceremony.

APPLICANTS: The Letters About Literature Program is currently open for submissions. Please email a completed entry form, your essay (400-800 words) and a signed permission form (for students under 13) to Texas Center for the Book at tcfb@tsl.texas.gov.

Entries must be typed and either a Word document or PDF. Deadline is 5 p.m. Central time, Monday, February 3, 2025.

“Letters About Literature is an opportunity for students to express how a written work has transformed them or the way they look at the world,” said Michele Chan Santos, Center for the Book Coordinator. “The written work might be a mirror of something they’ve encountered in their own

life or community, or a door through which they’ve viewed how someone with a different background or history has experienced life. Our past winners demonstrate how emotional and strong this experience can be.”

To learn more about Letters About Literature Texas 2024-2025, including full rules and submission instructions, visit www.tsl.texas. gov/lettersaboutliterature. The site includes an Official Rules page, and information about prizes.

Parents, guardians, educators, and public and school librarians are encouraged to promote the contest to their students.

The Texas Center for the Book is under the direction of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. For more information contact Michele Chan Santos at mcsantos@tsl.texas.gov or visit tsl. texas.gov/centerforthebook.

To make sure the most wonderful time of the year stays wonderful, here are some holiday safety tips, curtesy of Medina Electric Cooperative.

Whether going down the street or driving cross country, staying safe on the road is important: Prevent driving drowsy by being well-rested before departing; Refrain from using a cell phone and stay alert; Plan for heavy traffic and leave early if you must; Drive sober or have a designated driver; Make sure everyone in the vehicle is buckled up no matter the distance.

Take precautions while decorating: When hanging lights outdoors, use a ladder with the appropriate height for the task; Don’t plug too many

lights into one socket or power strip; Replace worn out or broken lights; For young children and pets, avoid placing breakable or hazardous ornaments on lower Christmas tree branches; Turn off all lights and decorations when going to bed or leaving the house.

Observe potential fire hazards: Dried out live Christmas trees can easily ignite, so take proper care of them and take them down when needles start falling off; Place candles where they can’t be knocked down or blown over; Use flameless candles near flammable objects; Only use appropriate types of wood in a fireplace and always use a screen on it; Check and clean the chimney and fireplace area before use.

Give the gift of safety to little ones this year: For children under 3, choose toys without small parts; Be cautious of toys that require being plugged into an electrical outlet; Toys that require button batteries or contain magnets can be harmful or fatal if swallowed; When giving any type of riding toys, such as bikes or scooters, include safety gear as well.

When you have faith miracles happen

The Most Powerful Healing Prayer

By St. Padre Pio

Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me.

I thank you for sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set me free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me.

Loving Father, Touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Cover me with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas.

Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus’ precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function. Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart.

Saturate my entire being with your presence, love, joy and peace and draw me ever closer to you every moment of my life. And Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do your works so that my life will bring glory and honor to your holy name. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
