Did you know that allergies might be connected to mental health issues like depression and anxiety? People with hayfever have a 45% higher risk of developing depression and a 65% higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder. A recent study highlighted in the New York times explores the connection. Scientists aren't’ exactly sure why allergies impact mood, but they think it has to do with the immune response, when a chunk of pollen hits your nose-hole, the body releases cytokines- an inflammatory response- to fight off that perceived threat, and a study with rats with allergies found that more stress hormones were released in the brain. Both chronic inflammation and stress hormones are closely linked with depression and anxiety. This is just a reminder that taking care of both our physical and mental health is vital to managing mental health.

About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe
