Last year, hirado.hu asked Budapest residents about Blue Monday, and also talked to psychologist Rebeka Mogyorósi about the topic.
However, according to the expert, it is just a marketing ploy invented by a travel agency. As he said, their goal was to find out when the most bookings for the various flights are expected.
According to Rebeka Mogyorósi, however, there is a reason why we feel this time of year is more difficult. January has a special effect compared to other months.
"The holiday period - several days, weeks pass in a heightened emotional state, be it negative or positive - as it passes, it is difficult for the person and the human body to adapt to the fact that it is as if this has been suddenly cut off. This phenomenon can be called January blues or post-holiday fatigue"
said the psychologist.
According to Rebeka Mogyorósi, especially during this period, we should pay more attention to our physical and mental well-being, we should return to healthier foods and exercise.
