6/23/2023 0 Comments Hari depressionDepression is now 10 times higher than it was in 1960.The statistics on mental health are alarming: I can’t do justice to this great book with a short review so I urge you to read a copy yourself. There’s also support to reduce your consumption of advertising and social media and increase your connections to others to improve your own mental health. It also has important lessons for those developing land, communities and property. Employment – particularly the lack of meaningful work, status, respect and a secure future – is shown to be a source of several potential causes of depression so it is important that leaders and employers understand their role. This book helps us understand the causes of depression in an accessible way whether we are suffering ourselves or caring for those who are. Everyone is aware of the growing problem in mental health. “ Lost connections – Why you’re depressed and how to find hope” by Johann Hari was a revelation. As a psychologist, counsellor and trustee of a mental health charity I thought I’d share my thoughts on this brilliant book. (Important update at March 2023 – please read this post art and science of overcoming clinical depression (2021) by Oliver Kamm” ()).
