🧠 Psychiatry Is More Than Medication

One of the biggest myths about psychiatry is that every appointment ends with a prescription.

The truth? 📖
Medication is just one tool we may use, not the only one. We look at the whole picture when creating a treatment plan.

🧠 MYTH vs. FACT: Mental Illness Isn't a Character Flaw

Mental health conditions are medical conditions—not personal failures. Unfortunately, many people avoid getting help because of myths that simply aren't true.

Let's separate fact from fiction.

💙 Remember: You are not your diagnosis. Having depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, or another mental health condition does not define your worth.

☀️ Hot Weather + Lithium = Be Extra Careful! 💊

If you take lithium for bipolar disorder or another mental health condition, summer heat can increase your risk of lithium toxicity.

When it's hot outside, you lose water and sodium through sweat. Dehydration can cause lithium levels in your body to rise—even if you're taking the same dose.

🚨 Watch for these warning signs: • New or worsening tremors (shaking) • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea • Increased drowsiness or extreme fatigue • Dizziness • Muscle weakness • Unsteady walking or poor coordination • Slurred speech • Confusion or difficulty thinking clearly • Blurred vision

⚠️ Severe toxicity is a medical emergency and can cause seizures, loss of consciousness, abnormal heart rhythms, or coma.

✅ How to stay safe this summer: 💧 Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you're sweating. 🧂 Don't drastically change your salt intake unless instructed by your provider. 🌞 Limit prolonged exposure to extreme heat. 🤒 Contact your healthcare provider if you develop vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever. 💊 Never stop or adjust your lithium dose without medical advice. 🩸 Keep up with recommended lithium blood level checks.

❗If you develop severe symptoms or think you may have lithium toxicity, seek emergency medical care immediately.

At NCC Psychiatric Services PLLC, your safety is our priority. If you're taking lithium and have questions about staying safe during the summer months, contact your provider before problems arise.

💉 If your insurance said you don't qualify... are you paying outrageous cash prices?

At NCC Psychiatric Services, we believe cost shouldn't stand between you and your health goals.

✨ All NCC providers now offer cash-pay GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, delivered directly to you.

We've partnered to offer high-quality compounded GLP medications at significantly lower prices than many competitors because we're passing the savings directly on to our patients.

If you've been told "no" by your insurance or have been discouraged by high out-of-pocket costs, we may have an affordable option for you.

You can use your insurance for the evaluation, or for a weight loss/wellness initial evaluation, it is $199.

📞 Call us at 712-541-6620 or ask your current NCC provider about our cash-pay GLP medication program at your next appointment to learn more.

Affordable. Convenient. Focused on helping you reach your health goals.

How do we teach children to feel remorse? I don’t think we really teach remorse, I think it’s intrinsic. I think we can be taught shame and guilt which looks a lot like remorse but is much harder on us from a psychological perspective. Offering genuine apologies to your children, letting them see you apologize with grace and humility, when you hurt someone else, is how we teach what to DO with our feelings of remorse.

They will experience feelings of remorse, it’s what meaning they make of it, what they do with it. Do they feel so much shame they shut down, struggle to express their remorse? Do they become a puddle of shame, apologizing and apologizing, fearing upsetting others? Or do they feel and then express genuine remorse? Able to move on… rupture and repair.

This is a little excerpt from my book….

Finding Your Calm: Responsive Parents Guide to Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation
�This book combines my knowledge of child development, brain science and trauma to offer parents a unique resource that includes lots of exercises, reflections, insights and also… links to additional research, articles and videos that can help support your healing and learning journey.
