Katie, Cat and Keith tackle the “holiday blues”: signs of depression, anxiety and  other mental illnesses that occur specifically during the holiday season. Eating disorders can be exacerbated by Thanksgiving meals. Seasonal depression during the winter months can be amplified by the expectation of a perfect Christmas. New Years Eve can feel foreboding if you think you have nothing to look forward to in the new year. The co-hosts encourage listeners to accept all of their feelings as valid, especially during what many perceive as the “most wonderful time of the year.” They understand that this year has had and will continue to have unique difficulties, but encourage people to take care of themselves and ask for help when needed. We will get through the end of this year together.
