It’s almost like there’s more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it’s the evil checks notes sunscreen that’s making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that’s coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they’re great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don’t have anything you’re trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it’s like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there’s nothing wrong.
Which is probably a net positive on their lives. The less social media the better.
