Black women experience rates of depression that are twice that of our
male counterparts. Black women are also more likely to go without treatment,
experience more severe symptoms, and seek help only at a point where
their symptoms are debilitating. The holiday season is a time when getting
“the blues” is especially common. At a time when many people are enjoying
the season, celebrating with friends and family, and spending some time
off of work or school to relax, others may find themselves experiencing
depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. It is especially hard
to take care of oneself or reach out for support when every corner and
song proclaims the joys of the season and you feel just the opposite.
