Millions of Americans living with depression say they’re “fine.” But new global data shows that for many patients, “fine” still means lingering symptoms, lowered expectations, and a struggle to put their silent frustrations into words. As summer marks the midpoint of the year – a time when schedules slow and people naturally reflect – experts say it’s a critical moment to pause and check in with how we’re really feeling, even if everything seems “fine” on the surface. New global survey data from patients being treated for major depressive disorder (MDD) and...

Elite athletes optimize every detail of their exercise and nutrition routines, but the same foundational principles can be applied to everyone’s life, whether you’re a competitive athlete or just trying to live a more active lifestyle. However, it’s difficult to know if your body is getting what it needs each day. For example, hydration plays a critical role in energy, focus, and recovery, yet many people fall short of hydration goals.
info_outlineHISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE: PURSUING PURPOSE AND PASSION
Every September, the Army Reserve joins the nation in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, reflecting on our shared history as Americans and recognizing the rich mosaic of people and cultures who build and strengthen this branch of service. The Army Reserve story cannot be told without reflecting on the remarkable contributions made by Hispanic American Soldiers. From the Spanish-American War to the Korean War and beyond, Soldiers of Hispanic and Latin Descent have not hesitated to defend this nation and contribute their talents and skills to local communities.
Whether their heritage can be traced to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean or Central and South America, these Soldiers have answered the call to service, defending America with great honor, dedication, and distinction. The Army Reserve draws its strength from the diversity that makes up America's melting pot, and by recognizing our history, we are building a future of a stronger Army Reserve that allows all Soldiers the opportunity to be all they can be.
One of the many benefits of Army Reserve service, is having the flexibility to pursue a Civilian career while also being part of something bigger than yourself. Soldiers can advance their careers and skillsets through various trainings and educational offerings. For example, Sergeant First Class Rodney Roldan, a Noncommissioned Officer, joined the Army Reserve to enhance his media and acting skills through the Army’s public affairs program. And when he’s not reporting in the field, recording radio shows, or working with special operations, Sgt. 1st Class Roldan is on the big screen, working in television and film.
Joining us is Sergeant First Class Rodney Roldan in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with the Army Reserve. He discusses the rich story of Hispanic Soldiers in the Army Reserve, his Puerto Rican heritage, and while also highlighting his Army career, his dedication to helping Soldiers reach their potential, and his passion for acting and documentary filmmaking.
