| | Holiday Depression & Stress (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The holiday season is a time full of joy, cheer, parties, and family gatherings. |
 | | Many factors can cause the “holiday blues”: stress, fatigue, unrealistic expectations, over-commercialization, financial constraints, and the inability to be with one’s family and friends. |
 | | Remember the holiday season does not banish reasons for feeling sad or lonely; there is room for these feelings to be present, even if the person chooses not to express them. |
