Depression and anxiety during the holiday season is common for some people, but experts could see increase due to the pandemic.

Roxanne Pacheco, an executive director at Hope Family Health Center in McAllen said people are feeling an intensity of depression and anger that normally can be dealt with among family and friends, but because of COVID-19 safety precautions, support from others is limited.
