Mental distress - the coming pandemic?
Details
A variety of types of mental ill-health are increasing alarmingly. Far too many people nowadays suffer from morbid depression, crippling anxiety, biting loneliness, bewildering mood swings, and suicidal tendencies. Many others are falling far short of their potential for emotional vibrancy and self-mastery. Stresses during the Covid-19 lockdown are adding to the pressures people are experiencing.
What can be done to address this potential coming pandemic of mental distress? What is the role of technology to address this trend and to enhance mental wellbeing? How can various products and practices dovetail with more traditional approaches to positive mental health?
