You are right on target Marianne. I follow principled mental health experts that say the same. These ppl coming at you here need to quit with the corporate news, commercials, glossy magazines, etc that sell the lies for profit.

Money can't buy happiness, but it'll exacerbate the shit out of any mental health issue

look at mindset and belief systems. Then you have your answer. There wasn’t lack of opportunity until Covid even then people reinvented themselves and their businesses and gave other’s opportunities. If people want it bad enough they will find it.

Lack of #UBI.

Absolutely concur!!! On EVERY front ...what's the root of white supremacy and colonization!?!

Absofuckinglutely! Many if not most mental health issues are circumstantial. But instead of addressing the circumstances our ‘healthcare’ industry says ‘take a pill’ which has side effects to which they add another pill and another and here we are.

I'm not trying to be glib, but any1 who's NOT anxious & depressed to some degree is NOT paying attention (& I get it: clinical's different than "UGH! The world SUCKS!") And, you're right: what percentage of depressed people by any definition might feel better with Bezos bucks?

it’s hard to get treatment due to millions of americans without insurance and paying hundreds of dollars to help with depression kinda backfires with the whole stress thing.

It’s evident that the capitalist system, which has created inexistent needs in humans, has also created the conditions for the mental disorders to flourish. Of course, this will never be the topic of a psychology course, or part of the psychiatric education.
