Depression–Sadness
Changes in light during the wintertime seem to cause depression for many people. Although I've read it is more common in northern climates I feel quite sure it happens in the southern climates as well. The American Psychological Association found that 38% of people felt their stress levels increase during the holiday season.
We think of the holidays as cheerful times when we get to be with family and friends, enjoying special foods for the holidays. We decorate our homes with the bright and brilliance of lights which brings delight for the kiddies and grownups too.
For some there is no laughter or joy.
Courtney Maum has taken us into her world when depression appeared and some of the normal things didn't help. But see what did help heal and restore.
