Christmas is famously the season to be jolly, but it is also a time which is stressful for many in Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate.
Family pressures, expectations and money worries can make for a difficult mix. And the desire to make sure everyone is happy and having a good time adds to the strain.
For people already coping with serious problems in their lives, the festive season may make them feel significantly worse.
Of course, it is not just Christmas that can cause stress. People with money or work worries, relationship and home life worries, or those caring for someone with a long-term health condition can be at higher risk of anxiety and depression.
