The Impact of Modern Culture on Health
Modern society is correlated with rising rates of loneliness, obesity, and various health issues, which can be linked to a mental state resembling Stockholm Syndrome. Individuals often feel compelled to accumulate possessions and engage in behaviors that ultimately harm their well-being, creating a sense of purposelessness. This dissatisfaction manifests as depression, which can be exacerbated by financial stress due to income stagnation against rising inflation. This relationship between financial struggles and mental health highlights the necessity for finding purpose and fulfillment beyond consumerism.
