Are you thinking your way into depression? Six habits that can lead to or exacerbate depressive symptoms

星期二, 十一月 28, 2023

MONTREAL, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Feeling sad after the loss of a loved one, a major disappointment, or a difficult or traumatic experience is to be expected. However, sadness and depression are not interchangeable, as the former is a normal, healthy response to a tough situation that eventually dissipates, whereas the latter is chronic and debilitating. So what leads to depression? Aside from experiencing a difficult life event, research from PsychTests.com highlights six other factors that increase the likelihood of depression: rumination, caring too much about other people's opinions, unhealthy perfectionism, focusing only on negative aspects, attributing failure to internal and unchangeable factors, and the most damaging of all, persistent feelings of guilt and shame.

Key Points: 
  • Although some people may have a genetic vulnerability to depression, it's almost always the result of a prolonged, maladaptive thinking style.
  • According to PsychTests' study:
    > 91% of the depressed group feel they don't deserve to be loved, compared to only 3% of the non-depressed group.
  • > 75% said that they are unable to forgive themselves for the mistakes they've made, compared to 13% of the non-depressed group.
  • > 93% of the depressed group keep themselves up at night thinking about problems, compared to 16% of the non-depressed group.

Political leaders need a grand narrative – Rishi Sunak's is a story of decline

Retrieved on: 
星期一, 十月 2, 2023

Sunak recently watered down his climate change mitigation policies, and refused to “speculate” on the future of rail project HS2.

Key Points: 
  • Sunak recently watered down his climate change mitigation policies, and refused to “speculate” on the future of rail project HS2.
  • The Sunak government is seemingly unable to reverse a harmful narrative or maintain its own.
  • But political leaders are successful when they present a grand narrative and find a way to connect themselves to it.
  • Simply finding a bigger narrative is not enough – political leaders must be compelling characters within their narrative.

Contradictions in Sunak’s narrative

    • The audience (in this case, the voting public) must feel able to personally connect with the narrative and the narrator.
    • It is difficult to align yourself with a revival narrative, or an everyman narrative, from a position of privilege.
    • It’s possible that Sunak’s wealth and privilege may render him singularly incapable of connecting to a bigger narrative at this moment in British history.

A narrative of decline

    • As argued in an article in The Economist: “There is just one problem with this narrative.
    • He may follow the example of Thatcher: when faced with a decline narrative, she chose not to reverse it but to embrace it – and blame it on her opponents.
    • Whatever Sunak decides, reversing the narrative of an impending British collapse or leveraging decline to his advantage, his search for a grand narrative is already replete with incongruities.
    • In the end, the stark realities outside Westminster may force him to acknowledge decline and his role within it.
