How Summer Routines Can Help Manage PTSD and Anxiety Symptoms
Summer brings longer days, warmer weather, and a break from the usual pace of life—but for those living with PTSD or anxiety disorders, this season can be both a challenge and an opportunity. At Alleviant, we believe in the power of daily structure, seasonal mindfulness, and integrative care to help you find balance and resilience—no matter the time of year.
Here’s how establishing a supportive summer routine can help you better manage symptoms of PTSD and anxiety.
Beyond Memory Loss: A Deeper Look at Cognitive Decline During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month
Each June, we observe Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month—a national initiative that brings attention to the realities of cognitive decline and calls for proactive brain health across the lifespan. At Alleviant, we understand that memory issues are often the tip of the iceberg. True brain health goes far deeper.
This month, we invite you to explore what cognitive decline really looks like, why it’s more than “just getting older,” and how a compassionate, integrative approach can make all the difference.
Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month: Understanding Cognitive Decline and Taking Action
In addition to PTSD Awareness Month, June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month—a meaningful time to raise awareness about brain health, memory loss, and the importance of early detection in cognitive decline. At Alleviant, we’re committed to helping individuals and families navigate cognitive changes with compassion, clarity, and a comprehensive care approach.
Whether you're concerned about your memory or caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or related conditions, this month serves as a powerful reminder: brain health matters, and the time to take action is now.
Welcome to June: Brain First. Whole Person. Always.
Modern psychiatry is undergoing a long-overdue transformation.
For decades, mental health care has functioned like a guessing game. Clinicians identify symptoms, apply a label, and prescribe a medication—often without any way to see what’s actually happening inside the brain. And when that treatment doesn’t work, the solution is usually to try a different medication… or add more.
This trial-and-error model may be common, but it’s deeply flawed. When the brain is the most complex organ in the human body, guesswork isn’t enough. Not for our patients. Not for our mission.
At Alleviant, we’re rewriting that narrative.
We believe healing starts with the brain—and includes every part of the person.
Geriatric Mental Health: Addressing Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness, and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
Aging is a natural part of life—but the mental health challenges that often accompany aging are not inevitable. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, dementia, and cognitive decline are common struggles among older adults, yet they are frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed.
At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we recognize that the brain and body change with age, and mental health care must adapt accordingly. Through Objective Psychiatry, spectral EEG (sEEG) brain mapping, personalized NeuroSync™ plans, and integrative care models, we offer hope, healing, and renewed vitality to seniors facing these challenges.
Understanding ADHD: A Brain-Based Perspective on Diagnosis, Treatment, and Hope for Healing
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders in children—and increasingly recognized in adults. It affects not just attention and focus but emotional regulation, executive function, and overall quality of life. At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we approach ADHD differently—through a brain-first model that seeks to uncover the root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.
This blog explores ADHD’s underlying mechanisms, the impact of lifestyle and environment, common treatments, and how Objective Psychiatry (including spectral EEG or sEEG) offers a revolutionary path forward.
Alcohol and the Brain — Short and Long-Term Impacts
We’re not here to judge. At Alleviant, we understand that ease of access, cultural norms, and emotional pain all influence our decisions — including whether or not we drink.
But while alcohol is widely accepted in our society, its effects on the brain are often underestimated — or misunderstood.
Our goal is simple: to educate you with clear, research-based facts so you can make informed, empowered decisions for your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
