Abstract
Data from 55 psychiatric emergency patients between December 1 and January 13 indicate that the most common stressors reported by the patients during the Christmas season were loneliness (40.0%) and being without a family (38 .2%). When asked how they feel about Christmas, most patients in this group reported negative feelings.
