Blue Monday Speakers at GREAT BRITISH SPEAKERS
January 15, 2026
An event every year that begins at 12:00 am on day 15 of January, repeating indefinitely
Blue Monday Mental Health Speakers
What is Blue Monday?
The term Blue Monday is a compilation term for what we’ve come to know as those post-Christmas blues… back to a normal work routine, cold, dark days and the costs of unpaid Christmas debts and winter credit card bills, all which make this time of year feel a tad more gloomy.
The term was coined by a psychologist, Cliff Arnall, back in 2004, when Sky Travel, asked him for a “scientific formula” for the January blues. From his research, Arnell calculated that the most depressing day of the year could be discovered using the following formula;
Where weather=W, debt=d, time since Christmas=T, time since failing our new year’s resolutions=Q, low motivational levels=M and the feeling of a need to take action=Na. ‘D’ is not defined in the release, nor are units.
Using his calculation, he determined that the most depressing day of the year was, in fact, the 3rd Monday of January.
– so next year, it will fall on the 20th of January 2025.
Despite the term initially being coined to encourage people to book holidays – the term seems to have stuck, as is now widely used in to describe those seasonal blues and even more severe mental health and mood disorders, such as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
However, in some circumstances, when these moods don’t lift, they can spiral into more long-term mental health conditions.
So while the date may have been coined for a quick holiday PR stunt, the awareness it’s raised over the years has been fundamental in raising the wider concerns of mental health issues globally.
