Understanding Post-Holiday Syndrome

Post-holiday syndrome refers to a psychological and physical state experienced by individuals returning to work after a holiday. Symptoms such as fatigue, lack of motivation, and difficulty concentrating are common as people readjust to their regular routines. This phenomenon, although not clinically recognized, affects many and may even begin before the holiday, as the stress of impending work can induce anxiety. The transition from a leisurely holiday back to a structured work environment can be jarring, highlighting the challenges of switching mental modes.
