The differences between depression and holiday blues are discussed here. The various stressors in our lives around the holidays are discussed and a few tips are given on the last page for how to get rid of holiday blues.

Good article explaining the difference between normal seasonal "issues" and real, true depression. There are multiple pages and I'm not a fan of clicking, so I would rate this higher without all the pages and the drop-down ads.

A straight forward article on the differences between a real issue that may require attention and the feeling that may come along with the holidays and memories from years past. I think this is a good look and would be very helpful in identifying and resolving such issues.

Good article, covering some of the reasons that holidays can be difficult for everyone.

Good article to help you to decifer if you just have the blues or if it really is depression. It's always good to speak to your doctor about it, either way.

This is a pretty solid article. I really like that it is pointing out the fact that not all episodes of sadness or depression are CLINICAL depression--sometimes they are situational. In a diagnosis-happy society, I think it is important to remember this.
