Many people look forward to the holiday season and enjoy the festivities with family and friends. But for others, this time of year can lead to feelings of sadness and trigger increased stress, anxiety, and depression. When caring for our members, be sure to look out for signs of mental illness and, if needed, refer patients for behavioral health services.
