OVERCOME "HOLIDAY DEPRESSION" #ASMR #CBT #TAPPING

For many people, the holidays are a time to look forward to.
Even with the stress of meal planning and gift giving, many of us still
​find it to be a happy time of year. But this isn’t always the case.
For some people, the holidays can be an emotionally exhausting and difficult time.
​Feeling depressed during the holidays is a real but treatable concern.
​Here's an exercise to make you feel better.

"Depression that occurs around the holidays sometimes gets called holiday depression," Gail Saltz, MD, a psychologist and host of the Personology podcast, tells Health.
​"It is important to delineate whether this occurs every year in the winter, because if so this may actually be seasonal affective disorder. But if not, it may be depression exacerbated by stressors related to the holidays."
