1. Talk With Your Doctor or Healthcare ProviderBecause SAD is a form of depression, it needs to be addressed by a mental health professional. “There are a number of screening questions that can help determine if someone is depressed,” says Deborah Pierce, MD, a family medicine physician at University of Rochester Medicine in New York. “Your doctor will be able to sort out whether you have SAD as opposed to some other form of depression.” If you have SAD, a professional can help you identify the condition and work through it. Psychotherapy (aka talk therapy), including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can effectively treat SAD. Therapy can help you learn new ways to cope and change thinking and behavioral patterns that exacerbate depression symptoms.2. Ready Yourself in the FallPreparation for the summer-to-fall transition isn’t limited to wardrobe updates or getting your home ready for the new season — consider preparing your mind, too. Regularly allotting time for mood-boosting activities can help people feel physically and psychologically healthier, says Kim Burgess, PhD, a clinical psychologist at Naval Health Clinic Quantico in Virginia.

York and Scarborough hospitals are facing a shortfall of dozens of beds this winter, according to senior leaders. York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust forecasts a shortfall of 52 beds at York Hospital and 32 at Scarborough Hospital, based on expected winter demand. The prediction comes after the proportion of patients waiting for more than 12 hours in emergency departments at the trust's hospitals more than doubled, from 5.9% in April to 14.6% in August. Despite the predicted shortfall, the trust said plans were in place to reduce pressure on services and provide extra capacity if needed. Health bosses said that improvements in same-day emergency care, shorter hospital stays and faster discharges could free up the equivalent of around 30 beds at York and 13 at Scarborough Hospital. Even with those improvements, a residual shortfall of 22 beds at York and 19 at Scarborough is still expected. A trust spokesperson said they were preparing for additional pressures by working closely with health and social care partners.

Scientists have discovered an unexpected reason why Alzheimer's disease disrupts sleep, and their findings suggest that the problem may be reversible. In experiments involving mice with Alzheimer's-like brain changes, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day without removing the amyloid plaques associated with the disease. The surprising discovery points to an overlooked culprit: the brain's own immune cells. Rather than simply protecting the brain from damage, these cells can trigger inflammation that interferes with healthy sleep.
