statistics show that up to 69 percent of people are stressed by the illness or a
medical condition or stress is hindering someone's performance. Depression
is more than simply feeling unhappy or fed up for a few days. Most people go
through periods of feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel
persistently sad for weeks or months, rather than just a few days. Some people
think depression is trivial and not a genuine health condition .
Causes of Post- Holiday Syndrome.
There are a number of reasons why people might experience the holiday blues.
Some of the possible causes include:
Stress; the holidays can be hectic and all that stress can sometimes make
it difficult to feel the holiday cheer.
Financial difficulties; overextending yourself financially or struggling to
afford gifts for family and friends can create an added burden.
The strain of dealing with extended family, particularly if you don’t get
along.
Unrealistic expectations; setting your sights too high and failing to live
up to those expectations.
Poor social support, isolation, and loneliness.
Exhaustion.
Not being able to go home for the holidays; missing your family and
friends can make the holidays seem especially lonely.
Nostalgia for holidays of the past.
Because the holidays mark an impending new year, people may also begin to
reflect on the past year and experience feelings of regret or failure.
Symptoms of Post- Holiday Syndrome.
The most common symptom of the holiday blues is a persistent or recurring
feeling of sadness that begins during the holiday season. This feeling may vary
in intensity and duration. Some people might feel down periodically, but
experience brief periods of feeling more upbeat. Others may have more
moderate to severe feelings of depression that last throughout the season.
Some signs of the holiday blues might include:
Feelings of exhaustion and fatigue.
Sleeping much more or much less than normal.
Losing interest in activities that you normally enjoy.
Lack of pleasure in normal activities.
Trouble making decisions.
Difficulty concentrating.
Withdrawing from friends and family.
Feelings of loneliness.
Feeling irritable or angry.
Even when participating in things that they would normally enjoy, people with the
holiday blues have trouble enjoying themselves. Activities that are specifically
related to the holiday itself, such as social events, family meals, and gift-giving,
may actually trigger feelings of anxiety or sadness. Unfortunately, people
sometimes turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to handle holiday sadness and
stress. Excessive drinking, overeating, and poor sleep can make the symptoms of
the holiday blues even more pronounced.
