In Order To Find The Perfect Antidepressant: Get Your Hands Dirty While Gardening!
There is a small bacteria called mycobacterium that people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, or other similar issues, should know all about. Scientists claim that this – and maybe other microorganisms – has a comparable positive effect on humans as pharmaceutical have. However, it is important to mention that the negative side effects, observed with regards to pharmaceutical, are not included in the case of this bacteria. Start getting your hands dirty in the compost or topsoil while gardening. The only thing you need is to get into direct contact with the soil or even just breathe the air around it.
Me and my quarter-life crisis: a millennial asks what went wrong
Last week I found my 15-year-old self’s diary. In its angst-riddled pages alongside gripping stories of unrequited love, fake IDs and Lambrini-fuelled exploits, I discovered a list of things I wanted to achieve by the age of 25. These included: own a house in Notting Hill; be a successful TV presenter; be engaged; own a pink Audi TT. “Fuck,” I thought, not for the first time that day. I am 25 and a half; single, unable to pay my rent and the closest thing I own to a car is a broken skateboard. My head began to spin, a familiar tightness seized my chest and the sweat glands in my palms went into overdrive, signalling the beginning of a panic attack that would last the best part of the day.
Some Singaporeans feel guilty taking breaks, stressed about doing nothing: Survey
SINGAPORE — Some Singaporeans work long hours, feel stuck in a routine and want to take a break — but when they do take time off, they feel guilty about it. Sounds familiar? A new survey has found that nearly six in 10 people here — 57 per cent — wish they were doing something more productive when they do finally take a break. And about half of the 600 respondents in the survey feel stressed at the prospect of doing nothing, while three in 10 admitted they simply do not know how to relax. The survey was conducted in April on behalf of the Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) as it works to encourage Singaporeans to de-stress and enjoy some downtime. Of course, the SDC, which oversees the development, management and promotion of Sentosa, has a motive in highlighting the need for relaxation: The survey is part of a new campaign, Make Time, urging people to chill out — and Sentosa has the facilities for this.
Smiling Depression

Typically depressed people are depicted as being bed-ridden and incapable of functioning. What may or may not be surprising is, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, that approximately 10 percent of the United States population is suffering from depression, which is 10 times more than those suffering from bipolar disorder (1 percent) and schizophrenia (1 percent).
Here’s What “Millennial Burnout” Is Like For 16 Different People
When I started writing about burnout as the millennial condition, I was trying to find a vocabulary to describe what had become the base temperature of my life — and the lives of so many other people I knew. Why couldn’t I complete seemingly simple errands? Because I was burned out. Why was I burned out? Because I was working all the time.

Depression is A Disease of Civilization: Hunter-Gatherers Hold the Key to the Cure
Depression is not a natural disease. It’s a disease caused by our high-stress, industrialized lifestyle, psychologist argues. Depression is a global epidemic. It is the main driver behind suicide, which now claims more than a million lives per year worldwide.
The Economy Killed Millennials, Not Vice Versa
Millennials aren’t doing in the economy. It’s the economy that’s doing in Millennials. My history with the accused goes back several years. In 2012, I published a column in The Atlantic with Jordan Weissmann, now a writer at Slate, called “The Cheapest Generation.” That headline—which got us in trouble because it was the only thing most people read—was a bit of a misdirection.
Depression Is a Disease of Civilization: Hunter-Gatherers Hold the Key to the Cure
Depression is a global epidemic. It is the main driver behind suicide, which now claims more than a million lives per year worldwide. One in four Americans will suffer from clinical depression within their lifetimes, and the rate is increasing with every generation. It robs people of sleep, energy, focus, memory, sex drive and their basic ability to experience the pleasures of life, says author of The Depression Cure Stephen Ilardi. It can destroy people’s desire to love, work, play and even their will to live.
Young People Are Having Less Sex
These should be boom times for sex. The share of Americans who say sex between unmarried adults is “not wrong at all” is at an all-time high. New cases of HIV are at an all-time low. Most women can—at last—get birth control for free, and the morning-after pill without a prescription. If hookups are your thing, Grindr and Tinder offer the prospect of casual sex within the hour.

Adrenal burnout. It means your adrenal glands are overworked, resulting in low cortisol and unbalanced hormones. If you told your doctor you suspected adrenal fatigue, you’d likely be sent to an endocrinologist who may test you for Addison’s or Cushing’s diseases, relatively rare endocrine disorders that indicate very low or high cortisol (your main stress hormone) levels.
