January 24th (today !) is most depressing day of the year 
Dr Cliff Arnall, of Cardiff University, came up with the date using a formula to illustrate the various emotional factors at play.
It reads: [W+(D-d)]xTQ MxNA and takes into account six factors likely to have an emotional impact at this time of year.
These include the weather (W), debt (D) (minus the amount of money to be paid on your next pay day) and the time since Christmas (T). Then there is the time since a failed attempt to quit a bad habit (Q) along with general motivational levels (M) and the need to take action to have something to look forward to (NA).
