Post Eurovision Depression (acronym: PED)[1] is an unexplained phenomenon where fans may experience a state of unhappiness following the conclusion of a Eurovision Song Contest. This especially occurs when there are minimal or no news coverage of the previous Contest, or those of the upcoming Contest which typically begin with the national selection season.[2]

Several Eurovision-themed news websites may publish articles that provide tips on how to "recover" from such a phenomenon such as the active participation of fan communities and contests[2][3], and may even use the opportunity to recruit new members as journalists.[4]
