The formula said to derive the most depressing day: [W+(D-d)]xTQ/MxNA.
As if we needed any more reason to ruminate over pandemic life’s daily plights, today is Blue Monday — the third Monday of January, which is rumored to be the most depressing day of the year.Research hasn’t proved that there is any one day more depressing than all the others, but the PR stunt that has unfortunately cemented itself into modern culture.
The formula was meant to analyze when people booked vacations, assuming that people were most likely to buy a ticket to paradise when they were feeling down. Arnall came up with reasons why people might want to take a vacation and from those extrapolated the gloomiest day of the year. “I had no idea it would gain the popularity that it has,” Arnall told CNN. “I guess a lot of people recognize it in themselves.”
“This is not the right way to raise awareness,” said Dr. Antonis Kousoulis, director of the UK Mental Health Foundation’s efforts for England and Wales. “By saying this single day is the most depressing day of the year, without any evidence, we are trivializing how serious depression can be.”
