Suggesting that there is a single day when depression somehow strikes more than usual feeds misinformation and trivializes what, for many people, is a very serious issue that they have to deal with every day of their lives.
Ever heard of Blue Monday, the so-called 'most depressing day of the year'? Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst aren't buying it. In this episode of 'Sideways', they dive into the murky origins of Blue Monday and the sketchy research that birthed this gloomy day. Martin takes a deep look at how media hype around Blue Monday can spread harmful myths about mental health, making January seem even bleaker than it is. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
The hosts offer practical tips to lift your spirits, like taking a break from work to focus on your well-being or practicing gratitude. They also chat about the pressure of New Year's resolutions and how failing to meet them can affect your mood. With their usual blend of humor and empathy, Graham and Martin remind us that mental health isn’t tied to a single day and that every day offers a chance for a fresh start.
Tune in for an engaging discussion that will leave you feeling more optimistic about tackling the winter blues.
