New Year, New You: 4 Ways to Invest in Your Mental Health in 2026

New Year, New You: 4 Ways to Invest in Your Mental Health in 2026

As the New Year begins, many people take a moment to reflect on their lives, their health, and their goals. This New Year, are you ready to emerge as a new you, healthier and more confident than ever before? Investing in your mental health gives you a firm foundation for this type of personal growth.

At Iconic Infusions, PLLC of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Dr. Bryant S. Edwards uses infusion therapies to boost your health and wellness. Many of Dr. Edwards’ offerings improve or support your mental health. How could this type of treatment benefit you? Here are four ways that Dr. Edwards can help you build your mental health and resilience in 2026.

1. Relieve depression

You want to set goals and achieve results, but does underlying depression get in your way? Depression reduces your energy levels, motivation, and even limits your ability to dream big for yourself and your future. Depression can make it more challenging to lose weight, kick an addiction, or make progress on personal self-improvement.

The good news is, depression typically responds well to treatment. And, even if you’ve tried to previously treat your depression without sufficient symptom relief, Dr. Edwards may still be able to help. He provides intravenous (IV) ketamine infusion therapy to new and existing patients. 

Ketamine can relieve even treatment-resistant depression with the right therapeutic application. If depression has been keeping you down, you could be a good candidate for IV ketamine treatment.

2. Address anxiety and unpack trauma

Anxiety is another mental health condition that can hold you back from achieving your 2026 goals and dreams. If you’re living with anxiety, you experience stress, fear, or dread that’s not necessarily tied to the real threat levels you’re facing. A public speaking challenge or a first date can become terrifying obstacles. You may limit your personal or professional life to avoid anxiety triggers.

To address your anxiety, you need mental health treatment and support. Ketamine therapy shows promise as a treatment for anxiety, including social anxiety. Your anxious symptoms may also be related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With the right care, you can reclaim your confidence and ability to take sensible risks without excess stress.

3. Supplement your nutrition

Mental health problems involve intangibles like your thoughts, feelings, and mood. But, the underlying health and wellness of your physical body also makes a big difference. As you focus on your mental health in 2026, could your body use an additional boost, as well? Dr. Edwards offers IV infusions containing key vitamins and minerals that support your mood, your cognition, and your energy levels.

4. Alleviate your PMS symptoms

Women of childbearing age face an additional monthly mental health challenge in the form of the menstrual cycle. The hormonal flux and physical stress of your period creates additional complications. For some, the days before menstruation come with pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, which can include mood swings and intensifying feelings of depression.

Dr. Edwards and the Iconic Infusions, PLLC team have you covered. We offer the specialized Alleviate IV infusion cocktail to relieve PMS symptoms, including ingredients like calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, hydroxo B12, and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6.

To learn more about how he can support you as you improve your mental health in the New Year, contact Dr. Edwards at Iconic Infusions, PLLC today. Schedule your initial consultation appointment online or over the phone now.
