Christmas is over, the weather is chilly and gloomy, and you can be caught in a never-ending cycle of pessimism.
On the internet, Blue Monday—also referred to as the most gloomy day of the year—has been popular.
After a year, it may seem relatable, but it’s not scientific, as one might expect.
According to reports, psychologist Cliff Arnall came up with the name in 2004. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year.
Over the years, several people have contested this.
He developed it in response to a request for a “scientific formula” for the January blues from a vacation firm.
