People with mental illnesses should take care not to get stressed out over the festive season, the SA Depression and Anxiety Group said.
The Christmas holidays could be stressful for anyone, the organisation said.
But for people with illnesses such as depression or bipolar disorder, it could lead to a worsening of symptoms.
"Remember that your health comes first and if crowds and huge get-togethers aren’t your thing, opt to go to the smaller gatherings instead," the organisation said.
If large gatherings were unavoidable, sufferers should always have an exit strategy.
Yes they should be made to sit in white rooms with no furniture and definately no christmas decorations or cheer...besides they just get in the way when you are trying to scurry about the shopping centres looking for last minute gifts anyway...
Have a merry Christmas...the Grinch
