The season of joy can also be the season of stress as the holidays can bring on both depression and anxiety.

Dr. Kenleigh McMinn, a clinical psychologist with Baylor Scott and White Health, says a good start in helping your mental health is setting boundaries with your family. She suggests discussing how much your family plans to spend on gifts, how much time you'll spend with them and who's hosting.

Another issue this time of year is seasonal affective disorder. It's a mood disorder that tends to hit during the winter months. Dr. McMinn says to try to stay as active as you can and be outside in the sunlight when the weather permits it.
