À propos de cet audio
Holidays aren’t always happy. A systematic review of 2.1 million cases across 28 studies shows that while Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are linked to lower suicide risk, New Year’s Day spikes risk by 33% (Yeh et al., 2025, Front Public Health). This pattern is consistent across multiple countries.
For musicians, this matters: creative communities often face isolation, performance pressure, and irregular schedules, making mental health support crucial.

The study also highlights that Valentine’s Day shows no consistent difference in suicide risk, but younger populations may be more vulnerable to self-harm behaviors, especially around relationships.
