Watch and listen to a panel of clinicians share their tips and tactics for how they help their patients have a generally general happier holiday.

Dr. Paul B. Hill, Psychiatrist, Memphis, TN

“The winter holidays can bring on positive and negative emotions and memories. Keeping your emotional equilibrium during this time requires a delicate balance between body, mind and spirit. before the holidays move into high gear, look at how you are feeling and make a plan that will keep you on an even keel this season.”

Dr. Benjamin Yu

“Please remember, this is your holiday! While there are many expectations and obligations from multiple sources (i.e. family, occupational, religious, social), this is still your time and you have the right to say yes or no…”

Nan Nelson

“…put up boundaries before (you) visit relative, (you) can choose to not go, have a backup plan if (you) have a history of trauma or abuse with that family member. I often tell them that in the days when I used to have paper prescriptions I would write out a prescription to have a migraine so that they could say my head hurts, I have to leave…”

Dr. Ronald Wauters

“Remember to take care of yourself through the holidays. Holidays are busy times and often we neglect our self-care. Try to remember to sleep as close to regular hours as possible an to eat according to our prescribed diets. For those with diabetes, the holidays can be extremely challenging.”

Medication trial and error can be frustrating

The holidays can trigger existing mental health conditions to feel like they go into overdrive. Managing one’s depression, anxiety, or PTSD can be the tipping point on top of an already stressful time.
