My MIL, a psychoanalyst, is of the opinion that mental illness is generally attributable to the actual state of the world rather than the unique genetic or behavioral qualities of the individuals who suffer from it. Depression and anxiety are my jam. Psilocybin is my cope.
… and may i add how much the state of the world affects our inner world. Hello, friend. 🫶🏼
Hello! You're totally right. My worst episodes of depression and anxiety, without a single exception, were directly caused by my work, which was often underpaid, pointless, monotonous, isolating and unchallenging. I finally hacked the livelihood trap and like magic, no more depression. Funny, that.
