Thank you for the article, as a somewhat neurotic introvert I have a particular appreciation for it :)
Our rapidly changing environment and the introduction of socially disruptive tech is why we should be seriously re-thinking our education programs -- we must start teaching the basics of mental self-care on a mass scale before it's too late. Just starting with meditation and relaxation techniques could be a great step.
There's never enough psychiatrists to go around and a lot of folks are either ignorant of their mental condition or averse to getting help. Here we should think not just about the care for an individual -- the society at large will reap the results of its neglect. There's no shortage of tragic examples in the news these days.
Hello @eccles :)
This is a wonderful comment you left me here. Thank you.
Whilst reading most of it, it was as if I was listening to my own thoughts (particularly the second paragraph).
My modest 'mission' here on Steemit is to raise understanding about psychology. I am always careful with trying to balance the science behind it with self-help, which in my hopeful dreams might lead some people to being proactive about their own mental self-care, as you so wisely put here :)
All the best to you.
