'May Sickness' (五月病 'gogatsu-byō') is a term for a seasonal disorder that strikes a little after Golden Week.
After the flurry of changes that take place each April, it may seem like May should be smooth sailing, but returning to work or school after the break is tough.

While 'May Blues' doesn't sound particularly serious, in some cases it can lead to depression, anxiety and insomnia.
In April the new school and work year begins, and there's a feeling that Golden Week only helps exacerbate feelings of disorientation, mental exhaustion, and apprehension.
It may seem like a small thing, but sweets absolutely help lift a gloomy mood...
