26 sats \ 5 replies \ @SimpleStacker 7h \ on: Americans Have Normalized Being Sick, We Forget What Being Healthy Is Like HealthAndFitness
I can't watch the video right now, but do they also talk about mental health?
I also think people are increasingly treating any kind of mental distress as a medical condition, to be treated by drugs or other medical interventions, or behavioral specialists. Just like physical health can be improved with better diet, more exercise, etc, I think mental health can be improved with better "mental diet"--what you consume and think about--and mental exercise, i.e. engaging in hobbies or activities that help you relax.
Yes, mental health was in the original title, but I had to trim it for SN length.

Haha. "Hey everyone, look what happens when I jam this invalid model into another invalid model. Scary stuff!"

Ha! That sounds like research I might have done. (not literally, just that sort of thing)
