Surviving the Holidays While Struggling with Depression

You Are Not Alone. Help is Available!

By Psychology Center Schaumburg December 15, 2018

While holidays can be a time of festivity and fun, it can also trigger emotional pain, anxious responses, and make one feel lost and alone. This period can be especially difficult for those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health related challenges. 

It is important to remember that there is very good help available and that one does not have to suffer in silence. Therapy teaches concrete coping skills to help improve mood, thoughts, and behaviors, and also gives one a sense of renewed hope and purpose. The below link shares one of the various effective mindfulness strategies that therapists teach to help attain moments of peace and clarity when one feels overwhelmed. This strategy is useful for adults as well as children and adolescents.
