Your mental health may matter more to your heart than you think. ❤️🧠

When stress, depression or anxiety stick around, your body feels it. Stress hormones push up your blood pressure and heart rate. Over time, ongoing stress keeps the body under strain, and it can make sleep, exercise and healthy eating harder to keep up.

📊 Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S., with about one cardiovascular death every 34 seconds.
📊 A study of nearly 25,000 people in 52 countries found that ongoing stress at work or home was tied to more than double the odds of a first heart attack.
📊 Across nearly 900,000 people, depression was linked to a 30% higher risk of heart disease and heart attack. And about 1 in 5 heart attack survivors go on to experience major depression.

The good news? Caring for your mental health is one way to care for your heart. Managing stress, getting support and treating depression and anxiety can all make a difference.

If stress, worry or low mood have been weighing on you, CanaryCare is here to help. We offer mental healthcare for children 6+, teens and adults.

Small things, done daily, add up. 🌿

How we sleep, eat, move and talk to ourselves each day has a real effect on mood and stress. You don't have to change everything at once. Pick one helpful habit to try this week, and notice one draining habit you'd like to ease up on.

Which one are you starting with? Tell us in the comments 👇

If daily life has felt heavier than usual, for you or your child, CanaryCare is here to help. We offer outpatient psychiatry and therapy for children 6+, teens and adults.

💛 October is ADHD Awareness Month and Dyslexia Awareness Month!

At CanaryCare, we believe understanding is an important step toward helping everyone feel supported.

Did you know?

🧠 ADHD: 11.7% of U.S. children ages 3–17 have a current ADHD diagnosis, according to CDC data from a 2024 parent survey.

📖 Dyslexia: The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity estimates that dyslexia affects 1 in 5 people.

🤝 The overlap: The International Dyslexia Association estimates that about 30% of people with dyslexia also have ADHD.

ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions, but they can occur together. Each person’s experiences and support needs are unique, and neither condition defines their intelligence or potential.

🎙️ Check out our recent episode on PositivelyWV, featuring CanaryCare founder Sarah Robinson, PMHNP-BC, to hear how her personal experience with dyslexia shapes the care she provides to her patients.

This October, let’s listen, learn, and build understanding. A little patience and the right support can make a meaningful difference. 💛

💛 What feels rewarding in the moment, and what helps you feel well over time?

Dopamine plays a role in motivation and reward. It isn’t “good” or “bad,” but the habits we repeat can affect our well-being.

Try making room for everyday rewards:
🌿 Take a walk.
🎶 Enjoy music or a creative hobby.
🤝 Connect with someone you care about.
✅ Work toward one small, meaningful goal.

Scrolling, shopping, or gambling can become harmful when they feel difficult to control or interfere with sleep, finances, relationships, or responsibilities.

Ask yourself: “How does this habit leave me feeling afterward?”

Start with one small change, and remember, struggling with a habit is a reason to seek support, not shame.

Depression in teenagers can feel overwhelming, especially in rural areas with limited mental health resources. If you're supporting a teen, start with listening, validating feelings, and connecting them with trusted local or telehealth professionals.
