I’ve never understood that part tbh “if it’s better for your mental health” we don’t really have time for that right now. Especially because this mentality is what led to our exact situation. People only worrying about the small scale picture that is their life while everything burns around them.
The time to prevent the crisis is now and people should def not be ignoring it BUT the crisis is not here fully yet and when it comes we need mentally healthy people mitigating it.
Fear can turn to existential dread and if they’ve been doom scrolling their entire life they’re going to be more likely to “deer in the headlights” or just accept their fate and roll over and die.
