Seek Professional Help Lastly, if your depression is more than a case of the holiday blues, and is affecting your ability to function day-to-day, don’t be afraid to seek professional help. Sometimes it takes some therapy or medication to reset your outlook and there’s no reason for you to suffer through the season. For urgent help or if you’re having suicidal thoughts, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (800) 273-TALK is available 24/7 and they can connect you with local resources.
