## Resource

The holiday season is seen as a time of joy, but not everyone feels like celebrating. Studies show that many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) during this time, often marked by anxiety and depression.  Psychologist and life coach Ali Gui emphasizes that offering a simple "kumusta ka?" can make a difference for those struggling.  It’s crucial to avoid dictating how others should feel, as empathy and understanding are what truly help. Recorded on December 15, 2021 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
