"Digital mental health apps have increased access to mental health care for people around the world. You can find services that fit your specific needs, often on a 24/7/365 basis, so if you need support in the middle of the night, it’s there. Digital apps can include resource libraries, artificial intelligence-driven chatbots that tailor the treatment they provide to your responses, and digital coaching from credentialed mental health professionals at any hour of the day or night from the privacy of your home. Busy schedules or concerns about stigma no longer need to hold people back from getting the support they need, so if the holidays have you struggling, help is available."

Zereana Jess-Huff is a counselor and health care executive.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Sustaining mental health during the holidays and starting strong in 2022."
