The holidays could be difficult for some people, especially those who are struggling mentally. An Arizona mental health expert is offering advice for coping.

, who was known as the DJ on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, left many people in shock.

"It's very much a hard time for a lot of people," said licensed clinical social worker Michael Klinkner. "There's all these expectations that the holidays are supposed to be: this great, fun, joyous time, but for so many people, there's tough memories from their childhood." "The first thing is just reach out to your support people and people close to you. It's OK to talk about those things," said Klinkner. "Also, if you need to find a mental health provider, most of us at this point do Xoom, some sort of video conferencing."

"As far as 'tWitch' Stephen Boss, men's mental health is so put aside, especially during this time of year, because there's that idea of 'I'm supposed to be, like, up on my white horse and providing so much money and doing all the right things during this time,'" said Klinkner.
