Understanding Emotions- Christmas Special!
It's the festive season! Although the holiday season is associated with feelings of joy, warmth, and happiness, this period of the year can be particularly hard for health and care professionals.
Medical Director Dr Zaid Al-Najjar and NHS Practitioner Health therapists Ruth Deighton and Simon Lyne discuss all things Christmas: why it can be emotionally challenging, issues that have featured in conversations with PH patients during the festive season, and ways to look after your mental health at the end of the year. They also touch upon Seasonal Affective Disorder, a condition which can worsen your mental health during the festive periods.
NHS Practitioner Health is a mental health and addiction service for health and care professionals who are unable to access confidential treatment from local services.
