Mental health is influeced by protective and risk factors, with the holidays marking a time of happiness and contentment for some, while for others they can cause sadness and disappointment. Suicide rates are extremely high on Christmas and New Year, which indicates high levels of anxiety and depression as well as the presence of stressors such as alcohol, conflict, increased spending and poorer sleep. Celebrating birthdays can be a trigger for risky behavior and committing suicide in people with mental health problems, with the highest suicide rate occurring on birthdays. Valentine's Day is a day when some people feel disappointment and failure with themselves if they are not in a romantic relationship, while some have reduced relationship satisfaction due to unfulfilled expectations, which again negatively affects mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic made it impossible to celebrate the "normal" symbolic dates of the year with numerous restrictions and fear of citizens, which had a negative impact on their mental health. Preservation of mental health is possible through the promotion of care for mental hygiene, but also through the cooperation of health institutions and the local community, where social workers can provide workshops, meetings and gatherings of people who have mental health problems.
