Northern Health shared their thoughts on how to cope with the seasonal blues during the holiday season.
Clinical Educator, Damen Deleenheer says the Christmas season hits people in different ways.
“Sharing in generosity present in many celebrations for some may lead to overindulgence and for others it’s a time of reflection that brings unwanted memories or reminders that stir unwelcome emotion.”
Deleenheer says overspending can also be an issue during the holidays.
“Overspending can also play a big role in the on-set of seasonal blues especially once the bills are tallied in the new year. Setting a budget and keeping an eye it can help reduce stress associated with finances.”
Over eating is also a major problem for some thanks to the endless amount of desserts and other foods readily available.
