Help Fight the Holiday Blues
Not everyone feels so jolly and joyful as the holiday season takes off. In fact, the holidays are so well known for triggering bouts of depression that there’s actually a name of the phenomenon – the holiday blues. What causes so many people to feel like their Christmas lights just aren’t shining strong?
Mental health experts have attributed the holiday blues to a number of different sources including:
- Less rejuvenating sunlight during the long, dark winter days
- Less time and motivation to exercise
- Stress related to arranging travel, hosting family, and buying gifts
- The constant holiday happiness peddled in the media
Almost everyone can agree that the holidays are most difficult for those who don’t have strong family connections and social groups. Since the holidays are deeply defined by togetherness, it can make feelings of loneliness even more acute.
