A version of this clause wasfirst published in 2018and we are pretty much resharing it as it was because the whole corporate invention of " Blue Monday " continue to be huckster as " skill " , and there are only a limited number of style to say this is bullsh*t .
The Blue Monday “equation”
[ W + ( D - d ) ] x T x QM x NA
The " equation " for Blue Monday is aPR concoctionthat cobble together in multiplication form quantifiable but unrelated things like how many days since Christmas ( T ) , your level of debt ( D ) , your salary ( vitamin D ) , and the modal temperature / weather ( W ) , and then carve up by arbitrary values for low motivational stage and the pauperism to take military action . If it looks like maths it must be real , must have been what people think . And despite being a mess of different and unrelated quantities you always get a very specific engagement out of it , which is always the third Monday in January .
Information has always been very dim about the details of this equivalence because the good Trygve Lie , fabrications , and misinformation have as little information as possible . But if we were to badly think that this was a real equation then it would mean that our motivational degree is calculate in a currency and our need to take action is a temperature ( or vice versa ) .
The equivalence is awfully spoiled and solely there to make this nonsense appear scientific . It is a routine like sci - fi plot using made - up , sciencey - sounding word for a deus ex machina . Actually , this is spoiled . Sci - fi at least has " fable " upfront in its title of respect .
The only laudable thing we have see coming out of this public relations incubus is genial health charities in Britain and around the world that are using the date as a way to highlightmental health struggles and related mark . Since one - in - four people will experience a mental wellness problem in their lifetime and virtually 1 billion citizenry are currently dissemble , accord to thelatest UN data(2022 ) , this is more authoritative than ever .
Depression is a mental disorder that can affect anyone and it can be the result of several transmissible , environmental , and psychological factors . If you or someone you know is struggling with genial health issue , contact your healthcare provider or there are multiple on-line resourcefulness that offerhelp , information , and a listening ear , for example in the UShereorhere . depressive disorder should n’t be trivialise and it by all odds should n’t be used to sell holiday .
