As the year winds down and the cooler temperatures begin to set in, many of us start to feel the effects of the changing season. While the holidays can bring feelings of joy and togetherness, they can also be a time of stress, sadness, and even isolation. At Pure Health & Wellness, we understand the importance of taking care of both your physical and mental well-being during this time. That’s why we offer telehealth mental health appointments to help support your mental health from the comfort of your home.
The Impact of Cooler Temperatures on Your Mental Health
As temperatures drop, shorter days and less sunlight can have a significant impact on your mood and energy levels. For many people, the transition into winter can trigger what’s known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that typically occurs during the colder months. The lack of sunlight during the winter months can lower serotonin levels in the brain, which can lead to feelings of sadness, fatigue, and irritability.
On top of that, colder weather often leads to spending more time indoors, which can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness. If you’re not able to get outside and engage in activities that bring you joy, it can feel even harder to stay motivated and connected with others. These feelings can be especially intense if you’re facing additional stressors during the holidays.
The Stress of the Holidays
While the holiday season is often depicted as a time of celebration, it can also bring on increased levels of stress. Between family gatherings, travel plans, shopping, and financial pressures, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Expectations to create the “perfect” holiday experience can add a layer of anxiety for those who may already be dealing with other life challenges.
The holidays can also stir up feelings of grief or loss, particularly for those who have experienced a recent loss of a loved one or are facing challenges in their relationships. The social pressures of holiday cheer can sometimes exacerbate these emotions, making it hard to enjoy what’s supposed to be a joyful time of year.
