Are We THIS Far Behind on Mental Health??

In general, it seems like society is doing a much better job of taking mental health seriously. Certainly a vast improvement from the days of hiding that you were even aware of a practicing therapist, much less seeing one. But every now and then you see something that makes you pause and think, "wow we still have a long way to go."

Like this groundbreaking study that shows leisure time benefits your mental health. Yeah. No kidding. It's not like the iconic line from The Shining was "all work and no play makes Jack a well-rounded, thriving boy." While it's good to get even the common sense things in writing, it's frustrating that they need to be. The fact it needs to be spelled at that we should take vacation days, or find a hobby, or talk to a therapist, is just symptomatic of the larger problem that we equate working with morality. The harder you work, the better the person you are.

And with the Great Resignation happening, we're seeing the effects of that mindset. Good luck, employers! You'll need it.
