Is this the most wonderful time of the year? Even a joyous holiday season can cause stress, anxiety or even melancholy for many Americans. A poll conducted during last year’s holiday season, by the American Psychological Association, concluded that most American adults feel overwhelmed by the holiday season; as nearly nine in ten said that even a joyous holiday season can cause stress and even sadness. Why is this? For many people, the holiday season, often depicted as a time of joy and celebration, can paradoxically bring about substantial personal health and physical challenges. While festive decorations and cheerful carols fill the air, a hidden undercurrent of stress, anxiety and sadness can make it particularly difficult for many. Understanding these challenges is essential to our ability to offer support during this holiday season. One of the main challenges during the holidays is the heightened sense of loneliness.

    Time, Thursday - 12/26/2024 - 07:00 AM

    Nearly every piece of financial advice—whether the goal is to pay off debt, save for a big purchase, or start investing—starts with making a budget. I’ve been writing about personal finance for nearly 10 years. Hearing this advice repeatedly has reminded me of what we’ve seen for decades in the health care field, where people are frequently met with advice to go on a diet, regardless of the issue they bring to a health care provider.
