The “holiday blues” is temporary sadness around this time of the year brought on by added pressure. Vice President of psychiatric services at Denova Health Jessica Holliday says it’s normal to feel stressed out by gift giving, family conflict or grieving a loss. She says to set realistic expectations, focus on meaningful traditions and let go of perfection. If the stress and anxiety continues after the holidays, reach out for support from Denova. We offer therapy, psychiatry and primary care services to help you identify the core of the issues you may be experiencing and then create an action plan to get you back to full health.
