Twitter User Debunks ‘Solutions For Preventing Anxiety’, Shows How They’re Made For The Rich Only
Anxiety disorders affect a whopping 6.8 million adults, or 3.1% of the U.S. population. Unfortunately, only 43.2% of those suffering are receiving treatment, says AADA (Anxiety And Depression Association Of America.) And the pandemic has made our emotional health even worse as now a fifth of U.S. adults (21%) are experiencing high levels of psychological distress, reports Pew Research center.
No wonder psychological health and emotional wellbeing have become buzzwords for the past year, as more and more people have become concerned about them. But one Twitter user has recently pointed to the not-so-pretty side of popular and well-discussed “solutions for preventing anxiety.”
In a viral thread, mental health advocate Rory McCarthy has listed all the ways anti-anxiety fixes are designed for rich people only. “[They] are ‘work less and don’t be poor’ when you really look at it,” he stated. Read the illuminating thread below and make sure to share your insights on the topic in the comment section.

He makes a lot of good points, but a white dude talking about the evils of 'white feminism' as if women fighting to be able to work and have financial independence was evil and useless because it played into the capitalist system is not a good look
yeah I was like "oh, yeah this guy's right" UP UNTIL that. I wondered if it was an accident in that he just sounded sexist when it's not really what he meant, but I don't think it is- This guy sounds to me like he tries to use his distaste for capitalism to justify being an asshole about other issues.

This just reminded me of when Kumail Nanjiani posted that picture of him shredded and was like "you too can look like this if you have 3 personal trainers, a home chef, and no other job but getting in shape for 6 months" :)
yeah. quick exemple. people always says: buy local! why i'd buy local strawberries at 5$ for half a pound when i can get a pound of strawberries for 2,5$ ? if i have a choice i'd rather don't buy strawberries and buy cookies, it's less expensives. people who don't struggle with money don't know what is like
Exactly. They are all: buy organic, quinoa and kale, use only vio products etc. We all need to try to do our best but most of us cannot afford eating açai every day. Bread is expensive enough thanks
