The Hague - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?

The rain and short days in the winter can get pretty rough. The Netherlands had one of the longest lockdowns in Europe during COVID and lots of people are kinda worried that another harsh lockdown could happen again. - May 2022


It’s common to get the winter blues. Come November/December, it is dark by 5. Also, you will find yourself at the kid’s AM school bus stop in the dark as the sunrise isn’t until 9. I suggest getting a “happy light” (light therapy lamp) and taking vitamin D. - Feb 2021


None that I'm aware of. - Jan 2019
