Do you think our collective mental health is on the incline or decline:

[HikerGuy83]

The brain and what they are learning in neuroscience has been a subject of interest to me for quite some time.

And mental health issues, which used to be very uncomfortable topics are now just part of our standard conversations (as is our willingness to medicate our kids.

What do you think.

Its getting worse. Leftist policy embraces mental illness, instead of treatment. Because they are all mentally ill.

It's getting worse, and I think it's worse for women than for men.

Men have always had escapes available, and they have the advantage of a longer "biological clock" to get their shit together.

MAGA has introduced what they proudly call the “post fact society”. Such a move is sure to lead to less mental health since the facts matter less than how convincing the spin is. You see this manifest itself on J6, pizza joints being shot up, and the hyper violent ICE thugs.

In truth, Republicans started this well before the blob came along. In 2004, the draft dodger W convinced everyone he was a war hero and his opponent for President, John Kerry--an actual decorated veteran--was not. You could probably say that this was the beginnings of MAGA where they realized they could pull anything. McCain probably could have won if he had gotten on board with the nonsense but he chose not to--its called character. Trump has zero so we end up with Mexico paying for a wall, a “something terrific” healthcare plan that hasn’t been rolled out in 10 years, exporters paying tariffs, “fake news”, “lawfare” etc....

Hopefully all of this stuff goes to the grave with Trump but the GOP is pretty much reliant upon spin at this point. They change principles like most people change their bedsheets so anything can happen.

I’m MAGA and I didn't get that memo

Do you have a link?

We're all a little goofy.

Anxiety and depression has increased among women especially when they are progressives. Progressive ideology teaches people to be victims, or to see the world as victims and oppressors. This puts them in a perpetual state of anxiety and anger. We see violent protests that are based on rage by people who dont even know what they are protesting.

Thanks for demonstrating the decline in mental health.

Women have more anxiety and depression than mem due to their hormonal differences

A lot of mental health is determined by what is actually in your mind, your knowledge and beliefs.

Thanks for demonstrating that you’re unable to debate what I said.

People are overworked, have little time off to reset. Combine that with the constant information overload and we are where its at. People need more downtime without a screen or a boss demanding things.

God knew we would work ourselves to death or the nuthouse, so he gave us the Sabbath.

We all need to have a life with meaning according to the psychologist Viktor Frankl. When life has no meaning or people are lost they are easy to manipulate into simplistic causes. Thats how the left attracts believers into climate change socialism and hatred for conservatism. They become like religious fanatics. When their beliefs are opposed as they should be they become violent and we see this in Minn today.

Too many look for "meaning" outside of their own personal interests. That's why so many efforts are a zero-sum game. Sacrificing your own well-being for a 'higher cause' is a fool's errand.

I just voted, and apparently I'm the only optimist so far.
