Unrigging the US economy and actually tending to the needs of our citizens would do more to address the mental health crisis in the United States than would any amount of money spent on standard psychological approaches to the problem. 1/3

If a person has to work three jobs to make ends meet and lives with chronic economic anxiety day after day and year after year, they don’t just need someone to talk to about it or a pill to numb their pain. 2/3

The mental health crisis is a symptom of a deeper cause, and the system that’s the cause of that symptom trying to distract us by saying how much they care about mental health is part of the gaslighting that’s at the heart of the problem. 3/3

Ending factory farming would go a long way to resolving the mental health crisis. It's not the only reason for the problem but it plays a big role. We are what we eat. If we consume stress and anxiety that's what we become.
