“Blue Monday” typically refers to the third Monday in January, considered by some to be the most depressing day of the year. The concept was first introduced in 2005 by a British psychologist named Cliff Arnall. Arnall claimed to have devised a formula that took into account factors such as weather, debt, time since Christmas, and motivation levels.

It’s important to note that the scientific validity of Blue Monday has been widely criticized, and many experts argue that the formula and the concept lack empirical support. The idea of a specific day being the most depressing is seen by many as a marketing gimmick rather than a genuine psychological phenomenon.

In reality, mental health is a complex and individual experience that cannot be accurately predicted or generalized to a specific day for everyone.
