Depression and anxiety are rising concerns for people born between 1947 and 2003. The book Lost Connections explains how loneliness and career stress play a big role in mental health struggles. But the good news is, building real connections and finding supportive communities can help us fight back.
How Career Stress Impacts Mental Health
The twists and turns of professional life often push individuals into isolation. Stress, competition, and uncertainty can cause burnout and lead to depression. Without people who care, listen, and understand, it becomes difficult to cope with daily struggles.
The Power of Belongingness and Community
Finding a supportive community makes a world of difference. Networks like RE/MAX show how belonging to a tribe or clan helps people share their wins, lessons, and challenges. On this World Health Day, remember that mental health is as important as physical health—connection and support can truly save lives.
