The worst aspect of medicalizing anxiety disorders and common forms of mental depression is that it distracts attention from social and economic causes such stress over crushing debt, lack of opportunity and a corrupt food system. We need to look at causes, not just symptoms.

They are often medical conditions. If not psychiatric, they are biological. Exercise, diet, meditation, supplements, and therapy often help these things. Crystals and incense will not do it. It's a myth that healthy food is expensive.

I have never talked or written about crystals or incense (talk about a myth). But the idea that “healthy food is expensive is a myth” IS a myth. Millions of people live in food deserts.

Google: 'Sarcasm" Buying lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, apples, and chicken ect is cheaper than eating fast and processed food. Anyone who has ever cooked for themselves knows it is significantly cheaper even if you don't shop in a discount grocery store. This is a lie.
