💙 Feeling anxious from time to time can be a normal response to stress. But when worry feels constant, hard to control or disruptive to your day, it may be time to seek support.

Anxiety, panic attacks and panic disorder are related, but they’re not the same. Understanding the difference can help you describe what you’re feeling and know when to talk with a doctor or mental health clinician.

Learn the signs of anxiety and panic attacks — including racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness or a sudden sense of fear — and when support can help: https://bit.ly/4rLtNxY

For many people with blood cancer or other serious blood disorders, a blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant can offer hope — and it often starts with a donor.

According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), most patients who need a transplant don’t have a fully matched donor in their family and rely on NMDP (formerly Be The Match) to help find one. NMDP ℠ is a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy that helps save the lives of patients with blood cancers and disorders.

As part of HCA Healthcare, we're proud to support this life-saving work through the Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Network — one of the nation's leading providers of unrelated bone marrow donor transplants in the U.S. Each year, this extensive network helps connect tens of thousands of patients with the care they need.

You could be someone’s match. Learn more and join the registry at https://bit.ly/4Aw6Cvs.

Triggers can be different for everyone. Stress, caffeine, poor sleep, dehydration, certain medications and other factors may play a role.

Welcoming a new baby can bring joy as well as emotional changes you may not expect. Some feelings – often known as “baby blues” – may pass quickly, while others may be signs of postpartum depression. Understanding the difference matters.

🔹 are temporary, mild mood swings that often begin a few days after delivery and typically improve within two weeks.

🔹 is a more serious condition involving persistent or intense mood changes. It can affect daily functioning and bonding with your baby. Symptoms may begin during pregnancy or within the first year after delivery and can last for months without treatment.

Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, Medical City Healthcare is privileged to be part of an integrated system of mental health and wellness facilities, comprising 50 inpatient locations and more than 180 outpatient programs across 14 states.
