A Danish study of more than 185,000 depression-related hospital visits found an 11% increase in depressive episodes in the month after the switch to standard time, and the authors suggest earlier sunsets may play a role.

As most of the U.S. pushes the clocks back this Sunday, one simple way to start the season may be to take time to get outside before the sun goes down.

When pain persists, it’s natural to look for a structural explanation. And physical causes matter. But sometimes, they don’t tell the whole story.

For some people, past or ongoing stressors, difficult experiences, and unresolved emotions may play a role in persistent pain through the brain and nervous system. Looking back can help us better understand patterns that may be contributing to today’s symptoms.

We can’t change the past, but we can start to understand how it may still affect us. That understanding can open new possibilities for recovery.

And speaking of turning back time, don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight!

AI Can Be Helpful. But It Isn’t Your Therapist.

AI can explain mental health concepts, suggest coping strategies, and help you put words to difficult experiences. But there are important reasons to be cautious about using it for therapy or self-diagnosis.

AI is designed to generate responses, not exercise clinical judgment.

It may agree with you when you need to be challenged. It may reinforce a diagnosis that doesn’t fit. It can overlook important details, miss warning signs, and provide inaccurate information with remarkable confidence.

A mental health diagnosis isn’t simply a checklist of symptoms. It requires understanding the whole person, considering alternative explanations, and applying clinical judgment.

And therapy isn’t just about having someone listen and validate your feelings. Sometimes the most meaningful work happens when we explore uncomfortable patterns, challenge assumptions, and develop new ways of responding.

AI can be a tool that supports mental health care. It should not replace the professional relationship, clinical expertise, and accountability that quality mental health care requires.

Use AI to learn. Use it to generate questions. Use it to explore coping skills.

But please don’t let a chatbot convince you that it knows you well enough to diagnose or treat you.

💜 On World Psoriasis Day, let’s recognize the emotional impact of living with psoriatic disease. Psoriasis is a multifactorial, inflammatory, chronic disease caused by the complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, including psychosocial distress.

The discomfort, unpredictable flares, unwanted comments, and feeling that you need to hide your skin can take a toll on confidence, relationships, and mental health. Living with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis can cause stress, sadness, and frustration. The relationship is complex: physical symptoms, disruption to daily life, and psychosocial burden may contribute, while inflammatory pathways are also being investigated.

If you’re feeling frustrated, self-conscious, or isolated, your experience deserves compassion. Emotional support belongs alongside medical care and you deserve care for the whole you. 💜 Dr. Kenney understands living with this disease as the daughter of someone who had severe plaque psoriasis before there were any effective treatments, and as someone who herself has psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Important Notice For Paratransit Riders Regarding Medicaid-Funded Medical Transportation Services

Bis-Man Transit is committed to providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation services to our community.

Effective November 15, 2026, Bis-Man Transit will no longer accept Medicaid as a payment source for medical transportation trips.

As a result, any medical trips currently billed through Medicaid will no longer be eligible for transportation through Bis-Man Transit under Medicaid funding after November 15, 2026. Riders who need transportation to medical appointments after this date should contact their Medicaid care coordinator or Medicaid representative to discuss available transportation options and make alternative arrangements.

Please note that Bis-Man Transit paratransit services will continue to be available for eligible riders. Medical trips may still be scheduled; however, riders will be responsible for paying the applicable fare unless another approved funding source has been arranged.

We understand this change may create questions or concerns. Our staff is available to assist you in understanding how this change may affect your transportation needs.

If you have questions, please contact Bis-Man Transit at 701.258.6817 or [email protected].

Thank you for allowing us to serve you. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Stress has become so common that many Americans now see it as just something to live with.

APA CEO Dr. Arthur C. Evans Jr. says that’s a problem.

Chronic stress takes a real toll on physical and psychological well-being—and we shouldn’t accept it as inevitable.
