Recognize if it’s more than just the humbugs
Your holiday blues might have more to do with winter’s lack of light than the festivities. Some people experience seasonal depression disorder when they’re exposed to less sunlight, says Leslie Freedman, PhD, clinical psychologist and family mediator. “The winter holiday season is at the depths of the winter solstice—the shortest days of the year,” he says. “It may have culminated in the sense of holiday blahs but is more about seasonal affective disorder.” If you’ve been feeling more irritable, getting fatigued, or putting on weight since the days started getting shorter, you could be showing symptoms of SAD. Try using a light therapy box to bring back some light into your life—literally and figuratively.
