Increased Stress: The pressure to meet expectations, such as buying gifts, preparing elaborate meals, and attending social gatherings, can lead to heightened stress levels.
Loneliness: For those who have lost loved ones or are separated from family and friends, the holidays can intensify feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Financial Strain: The financial burden of holiday shopping and expenses can be overwhelming, leading to anxiety and depression.
Unrealistic Expectations: The media often portrays the holidays as a picture-perfect time filled with happiness and togetherness, which can create unrealistic expectations that are difficult to meet.
