A psychiatrist explained the causes of holiday depression and listed ways to deal with it

If the upcoming holidays are causing irritation and anger, Choudhary advises discussing these feelings with others in an attempt to overcome resentment or otherwise get rid of negative emotions. For example, expressing the accumulated emotions on paper. According to the psychiatrist, it is not necessary to send such a letter, as the process of putting thoughts in the form of words and sentences brings relief.

In conclusion, Choudhary urged people not to judge themselves for being in a bad mood before Christmas. In her opinion, it is better to give yourself a break – cover yourself with a blanket and watch your favourite movies, listen to music, do some creative work or call a good friend. If you still can’t cope with the sadness on your own, the psychiatrist recommended consulting a specialist.

Earlier, the doctor-endocrinologist suggested a way to relieve emotional stress quickly. According to her, you should drink a glass of water to calm yourself down in a short time.
