You are surrounded by negative people

As the saying goes, “tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are”. Being surrounded by negative people can actually increase your risk of depression. In fact, it’s quite difficult to spend time with someone who is constantly explaining why your plans won’t work or complaining about anything, right? The truth is that this kind of energy will bring you down.

“No one likes to be talked to in a snippy or harsh voice,” Heitler added. “Being around someone who’s sending that negative energy is problematic. It will make you feel down.”

Instead, you should try to connect with people who are always optimistic and see the good side of everything, in other words, surround yourself with people who motivate you to become a better person.

  1. Mental health is probably the most neglected benefit that is not easily available to the average middle class to lower middle class citizen in this present pandemic world that America faces.. There is still a stigma attached accepting that one is in need of mental health treatment, while at the same time mental health treatment is not available to the below average person in America.
    Strangely enough a lot of people were drawn into thinking that the Trump era kind of quasi democratic cum autocratic /fascist type of government with tax cuts for the rich and vastly not much for the average middle to low income people; it defies reason, but still is in . Yes democracy is
    need of repair as is mental health care.
