Q:I am getting seriously depressed each year around the Holidays. This is a time when everyone is cheery and I don’t know why at this time there is something always wrong with me. How do I overcome this?
A:There is more depression around the holidays than at any other time of the year, so it sure isn’t true that “everyone is cheery.” But if you are “seriously depressed” at any time of the year it is vitally important for you to call a therapist. Medication can also help. The recommendation of experts is for both therapy and medication.
