Seniors: Prevent the holiday blues
Though the holidays are meant to be filled with joy and family memories, for those who have suffered a loss, they can be difficult. Seniors can be especially prone to "the blues" around the holiday season. If you feel like you might be at risk this December, HealthDay has a few tips to help you prevent problems from happening:
- Get out and socialize. Invite family and friends to your house or go out visiting.
- Volunteer.
- Avoid alcohol, which can contribute to depression.
- If you're struggling, talk about it with a trusted loved one.
- Know the signs of depression. If your blues last beyond the holiday season, get help.
