🌈 As we close out Pride Month, it’s important to talk about mental health. Pride is a celebration of joy and identity, but it’s also a time to recognize common mental health struggles within the LGBTQ+ community. 🌱 Being and embracing your authentic self is important for your mental health, but it can also be a difficult and uncomfortable process that may bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, and hopelessness, especially for LGBTQ+ youth. 🩺 LGBTQ+ youth have a higher risk for poor mental health and experiencing acts of violence, such as: · Bullying · Harassment · Physical violence · Sexual violence 🌟 If you are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, or suicide, you aren’t alone, and there are many helpful resources available. Talk to a Kelsey-Seybold provider about your mental health today. 📲 If you need counseling services sooner than an appointment can be made and you live in Texas, you can speak with a trained counselor by calling or texting 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Disclaimer: If you or someone you know has thoughts about suicide, seek help right away. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the closest emergency room. #Pride #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #HealthCare

Do you know what lupus is? According to the Lupus Foundation of America, 63% of Americans have never heard of lupus or know very little about the disease.       “Lupus is a chronic disease that causes systemic inflammation in multiple parts of the body, most commonly affecting the skin, joints, and internal organs such as the kidneys,” says Nida Momin, MD, a rheumatologist with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “Lupus symptoms can vary between patients and that is why it’s important to discuss medical symptoms with your healthcare provider.”      #LupusAwareness #AutoimmuneDisease #Lupus #Health #Houston

Suffering from migraines? You are not alone. According to the American Migraine Foundation, 37 million American men, women, and children suffer from migraines. And, for more than 90% of those affected, migraine interferes with education, career, or social activities. “I see many patients who think that meaningful migraine relief isn’t possible – and it can be an isolating condition,” says Desiree Thomas, M.D., neurologist with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “That’s why it’s important to work closely with your neurologist to help develop an action plan to tackle your migraines.” 🩺 Here are some simple steps recommended by Kelsey-Seybold neurologists to help you better manage migraines: • Maintain a Healthy Weight: Keeping a healthy weight can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. • Stay Active: Regular exercise can help alleviate migraine symptoms and improve overall well-being. • Establish Good Sleep Habits: Prioritize quality sleep by sticking to a consistent sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine. • Don't Skip Meals: Skipping meals can trigger migraines, so make sure to eat balanced meals regularly. • Talk to Your Doctor: Consult with your doctor about medications that can help prevent or treat migraines tailored to your specific needs. By incorporating these tips, you can take proactive steps toward managing your migraines and improving your quality of life. Remember, small changes can make a big difference! #MigraineAwareness #HealthyLiving

Exercising regularly and eating nutrient-dense foods can improve your physical and mental health, strengthen your immune system, and lower your risk of some long-term diseases. This June, as we focus on men’s health, we encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and try something new to help improve your health: • Consider participating in a fun new summer activity with friends and family: pickleball, disc golf, swim aerobics – or any activity that you enjoy and gets you moving. • Whet your appetite by trying in-season fruits and vegetables – fruits like peaches and plums, melons, okra, and the many varieties of tomatoes are a welcomed addition to any healthy meal. #MensHealthMonth #Exercise #Fitness #SummerFun #BalancedDiet

Remember: Hot cars are deadly for kids and pets! As temperatures rise, it's important to stay vigilant and never leave children or pets alone in vehicles, even for a few minutes. Let's work together to prevent tragic accidents. “Heat stroke in kids can happen very quickly, that's why it's so important for parents and caregivers to stay observant and always check backseats before locking the car.” says Pediatrician Dr. Kailey Graybill at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. #HeatSafety #ChildSafety #SummerSafety #HeatSafetyTips #PediatricCare #Pediatrics #KelseySeyboldClinic
