"Unveiling the Truth Behind Blue Monday: Debunking the Most Depressing Day of the Year"

The third Monday of January, known as "Blue Monday," is considered the most depressing day of the year due to factors like post-holiday blues and failed New Year’s resolutions. This day corresponds with seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression triggered by certain seasons, particularly fall or winter, and is thought to be caused by chemical changes in the brain due to shorter days and less daylight. About 10 to 20% of Americans may experience milder winter blues, while 5% of adults may suffer from seasonal depression. Those affected are encouraged to seek help and take steps to feel better, such as maintaining a routine and seeking professional help if needed.
