I see it like exercise, good sleep, good food, having enough income / material means to have a good outlook are a good base, but some kind of reflection and therapy and or the complementary usage of medication are what can change our trajectory for the future quite a bit. Yet I wish therapy was as effective as soaps and sit coms do make it look like.
Yeah for sure you are absolutely correct. I don’t at all mean to undermine the importance of therapy and I know first hand how debilitating mental health issues like depression and anxiety can be.
You’re completely correct about the importance if therapy and pills of required, it just bothers me when people dismiss exercise with the “thanks I’m cured” response because even if it’s not a cure, it absolutely DOES help and it helps a lot.
Eat right, drink plenty of water, exercise, get some vitamin D… it’s going to make a big difference.
Edit sorry to be clear I’m not arguing with you xD I’m just ranting
Yeah didn't read it as arguing neither
