Although Christmas is meant to be a happy and joyful time, this isn’t how everyone feels at this time of the year. Christmas can be a stressful and depressing time for many people.
Some people find that their Christmas spirit is undermined by:
– financial and time pressures
– isolation
– family tensions
– separation and divorce
– bereavement
– the challenges of becoming a step-family
– reflecting on another year gone by.
Today Dr Rachel Hannam was on ABC Radio Brisbane with Anthony on the Afternoons show. He asked about how women are affected and what to do if you are alone. Anthony also asked me to leave him with my final tip for Christmas Day. Take a listen! Check out our YouTube channel for more ABC Radio interviews with Dr Rachel.
