Quite a few people suffer from a “winterdip” in proper Dutch; winter depression in proper English. To help them, GGz Eindhoven starts a pop-up café. It does not just offer a cup of coffee or tea, but something extra.
GGz Eindhoven’s pop-up café Usine, will offer light therapy from Wednesday. During Blue Monday, winter depressions are the topic of conversations as well.
Light therapy is considered one of the therapies which may help combat depression during the winter months. Winter depressions, or winter “dips”, seem to be linked to a lack of sunlight.
At Usine, light therapy is not the only extra available. An on-line coach and psychiatrist of GGz Eindhovenwill also be available. They will advise participants and help them with the therapy.
Usine is located at Lichttoren 6, Eindhoven.
