Session 33: Steadying Yourself for the Holidays

Описание: The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

The holidays are upon us and this likely means different things for all of us. Some of us have positive associations with the holiday season and some of our associations are not so positive. In today's episode I discussed the Holiday Blues, factors that contribute to it, and how Holiday Blues is different from Major Depression. I also shared 6 tips to help you steady yourself for the holiday season.

Today's podcast is brought to you through a partnership with Med-IQ, an accredited medical education company that provides an exceptional educational experience for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. This partnership was made possible by a grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. and Lundbeck.

We have partnered to help make the general public more aware of the symptoms of depression and how to reach out for help when necessary.

It should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and after completion, you can be entered into a drawing to win 1 of 10 $100 VISA gift cards by emailing [email protected] and indicating that you have completed the survey.
