The month of January seems to be the hardest month for most people to face: It’s time to practice far reaching New Year’s resolution goals, pay back credit card bills from all holiday expenses from the month of December, and there are few festivities to look forward to until Valentine’s Day. No wonder most people suffer from depression in the month of January.
