December and January can feel like a wall to wall celebration of joy and family and winter cheer. Take any stroll in any store over the winter months and you’re likely to be almost assaulted by plastered holiday decorations and a parade of jingles. For many people, the cheer inside is reflected everywhere they go by the merriment that’s displayed in nearly every public place during the beginning and end of the year. The idea of seeing family, curling up by the fire and giving back to their loved ones and their communities can make this time of year truly magical. But that’s not true for everyone. 

Holidays depression, also known as holiday blues or seasonal effective disorder (SAD), refers to a condition where individuals experience feelings of sadness, loneliness, or increased stress during the holiday season. Holidays depression doesn’t begin or end in any fixed period of the year. But this period often encompasses the latter part of the year, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and other festive occasions. 

Holidays depression has no single cause. It can result from a variety of factors, or nearly any combinations of factors. These factors include the following:

Reasons for holidays depression

1) Increased Stress: The holiday season often brings added pressures such as financial strain due to gift-giving, hectic schedules, and meeting social obligations, leading to stress and anxiety.

2) Loneliness or Isolation: For some individuals, the holidays can magnify feelings of loneliness, especially for those who are geographically separated from loved ones or have experienced loss.

3) Unrealistic Expectations: People may feel pressure to create perfect, joyful experiences during the holidays. This can lead to stress and feelings of worthlessness.

4) Seasonal Changes: In some cases, holiday depression might be associated with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression triggered by reduced sunlight exposure during the winter months, leading to changes in mood and energy levels.

5) Past Trauma or Loss: For those who have experienced trauma, loss of a loved one, or difficult memories associated with the holiday season, this time of year can be particularly challenging emotionally. This is completely normal and many people experience some range of negative emotions during this time of the year. For those experiencing significant feelings of psychic distress, it may be helpful to talk to someone.

What does Holidays Depression feel like?

Holidays depression, holiday blues, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), can manifest in a variety of ways. Mental, emotional, and even physical well-being can all suffer during the shortest days of the year. Some common symptoms include:

Increased Anxiety or Stress: Heightened levels of anxiety, stress, or tension due to various holiday-related pressures, such as financial strain, social obligations, or increased workload.

Sense of Isolation or Loneliness: Feeling disconnected or isolated, especially if separated from loved ones or experiencing a lack of social support during the holiday season. It can feel like you’re living life on the inside of a fishbowl. Everyone else can seem bright and chipper, while you suffer in lonely silence. 

Changes in Sleep Patterns: Disruptions in sleep, such as insomnia or oversleeping, which may be caused by stress or changes in routine during the holidays.

Changes in Appetite or Weight: Fluctuations in appetite, leading to overeating or loss of appetite, which can contribute to changes in weight during the holiday period.

Loss of Interest in Activities: Decreased interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies that were once enjoyable.

Irritability or Agitation: Increased irritability, restlessness, or agitation, which might be exacerbated by stressors related to the holiday season.

Difficulty Concentrating: Challenges in concentrating or focusing, leading to decreased productivity or difficulty completing tasks.

Feelings of Guilt or Worthlessness: Experiencing feelings of guilt or worthlessness due to unmet expectations or comparing oneself to others during the holidays.

Physical Symptoms: Some individuals might experience physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches, or digestive issues associated with stress or emotional distress.

Battling Holiday Depression 

Alleviating holiday depression involves a multifaceted approach that prioritizes self-care, realistic expectations, and fostering connections with others. There’s no silver bullet. But engaging in stress-relieving activities such as mindfulness exercises, deep breathing, or yoga can help manage anxiety and stress levels. Creating new, meaningful traditions or modifying old ones can infuse joy into the holiday season.

Seeking social support from friends, family, or support groups can provide comfort and a sense of belonging. It’s crucial to set boundaries, practice self-compassion, and prioritize self-care by getting enough sleep, eating healthily, and engaging in physical activity. By focusing on gratitude, embracing simplicity, and allowing for flexibility in holiday plans, individuals can navigate the season with greater ease and find moments of joy amidst the challenges of holiday depression.

But even if this all works, it can be helpful to…get help. 

Seeking support from mental health therapists (like the ones at NPAC) during the holiday season is crucial in addressing and counteracting holiday depression.
