PAID ADVERTISEMENT Are You Taking Care of Your Mental Health? By Dr. Ryan Dickert

Many seniors I talk with are lonely or worried about loneliness. While it’s true living longer means you experience the loss of friends and loved ones, it doesn’t mean depression or isolation should take over your life. This is neither healthy or a needed side effect you should choose to embrace.

Loneliness or any other mental health condition can undermine your overall health, and contribute to other chronic health conditions, such Turning 65? as dementia. Do your best to resist withdrawing and stay involved in community activities. We’ve Got You Covered! Some people believe as you age it’s normal to get cranky, senile or forgetful - not true! If your mood is changing or you notice other symptoms, it’s possible there is another reason or cause for this behavior.

It is believed about two million people over the age of 65 live with some kind of depression. If you feel depressed, don’t wait to get help or think it’s just part of the aging process. Talk to someone who can help, especially a doctor who can diagnose and treat the cause of the depression.

So what is going on with our brains as we age? Learning new tasks or keeping up at the same mental pace may be harder to do, and that’s not uncommon. But severe memory problems are not considered normal and should be examined.

Depending on how much and what you are forgetting could be an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. When you begin having memory issues in your daily life, speak with your doctor to find out what’s typical and what’s not.

Do our brains slow down or get smaller? Well, most scientists believe our brains do lose some mass, and there is nothing you can do about it. Caitlin Carroll, PA-C However, it’s not necessarily because of age.

Your daily healthcare choices play a vital role - too much stress, high blood pressure and diabetes, to name a few, can contribute to brain shrinkage, not age.

Here I’ll sound like a broken record if you read my columns regularly. Diet and exercise matter - even as you get older. The best way to prevent any chronic disease and enjoy life to the fullest is to take care of yourself. Stop smoking if you do, limit alcohol and avoid a sedentary lifestyle.

Yes, genetics can play a part in your mental health, but preventative measures can go a long way to help deter or keep illness away. The best thing you can do is communicate with your doctor if you suspect any changes in your memory, begin to feel lonely or depressed, or just

ReligionCitrus County Chronicle Faith Lutheran purchases bikes for Citrus children

Nancy Kennedy GRACE NOTES Singing into the new year

ll this week I’ve had a song playing in my head, “On the A Willows” from the musical “Godspell” and taken from Psalm 137. A song of bitter lament, I’ve been hearing the part that goes: “How can we sing, sing the Lord’s song, in a foreign land?” The ancient Israelites had been taken captive by the Babylonians, and as they wept by the waters of Babylon and remembered Zion, they hung up their harps. Special to the Chronicle On Thursday, Dec. 3, five members of Faith Lutheran Church in Lecanto went to Walmart and bought 16 bikes and helmets with the “For there our captors required funds raised by its members. Then, members delivered them to Citrus United Basket (CUB). Pictured from left are Gary Wygle, Marge of us songs ... of mirth, saying, ‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion!’” wrote Sawyer, Dave Trout, Anita Trout and Carol Clayton. The bikes were purchased thanks to the help of all who participated in the Red Sock, the psalmist. Thrivent-sponsored event. With this pandemic that has dev- astated our globe, with this politi- cal turmoil that is destroying our nation, with the start of a new year and the uncertainty of what lies ahead — can it get any worse? (yes, it can) — it feels a lot like we are being held captive by forces we are Half-century of service powerless to overcome. How can we sing? How can we sing anything other than songs of Congregation Beth Sholom observes 50th anniversary of synagogue melancholy and sadness? On Christmas Day, I posted something from Christian author Harvey Hamerling ministry, is a talented musician and Ann Voskamp: “Christ followers Special to the Chronicle singer, very knowledgeable in Judaism, know that suffering is a given, that uses her abilities and enthusiasm to suffering alone is unbearable — Congregation Beth Sholom, Beverly make our services enjoyable and and we are given SomeOne who Hills Jewish Center, is celebrating the meaningful. bears the suffering with us.” 50th anniversary of the dedication of our Cantor Forman initiated the use of A friend, who nearly died from original synagogue building.

SomeOne is here. “Not some idea, not some philos- ophy, not some theology — SomeOne.” When I read that, I hear another song playing in my head: the “Hal- lelujah Chorus” from Handel’s “Messiah.” Taken from verses in Revelation, the final, triumphant book of the Bible, Handel wrote in 1741: “Hallelujah ... For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth! Hallelujah ... The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ ... And He shall reign for ever and ever! “King of kings, forever and ever, hallelujah, hallelujah, and Lord of lords, forever and ever, hallelujah, hallelujah!” How can we sing? We can sing because no matter what goes on around us SomeOne — God — is with us; we can sing because he is victor and because we are his. Special to the Chronicle A special day to honor all veterans once a year is a great national holiday to give veterans the respect and thanks they deserve. Nancy Kennedy is the author of However, it’s thoughtful to extend that gratefulness to veterans throughout the year.
