Stigma About Mental Health is Bullshit

Stigma about mental health is bullshit. There, I said it. In the future mental health will be prioritised over physical health. 50% of people have a mental health problem in their lifetime. Life is hard. Everyone has their ups and downs. We were built with a brain that prioritised survival, not good mental health. Most people aren’t happy anyway. Most people are driven by the wrong things these days too. Money and status are huge motivators for people. Money and status doesn’t make you happy. Everyone wants to have lasting happiness. But it’s very difficult to attain. One way, however, is to live a meaningful life. The famed psychologist Martin Seligman argues that having meaning in your life is the most important thing. Materialism and pleasure-seeking are hollow. That’s all I have to say for today.
