Brand New Happiness Science: Fight Loneliness, Depression, Anxiety, & More
Our society is not built for connection – we can order everything on our phones, and it is possible for us to get most of our needs met without even leaving the house. This convenience is deceptive and has left us lonelier, and more sick, than ever before.
We’ve all heard the conventional hacks and tips about improving our health, but we often feel the healthiest when we are connected with other people. In this episode, Julia Hotz dives into the real benefits of social prescription. While not a replacement for medicine, social activities can provide us with additional physical and mental health benefits, particularly in light of the loneliness crisis. You can improve your happiness and health through connection, nature, art, and more.
7:01 The Health Impacts Of The Loneliness Epidemic
15:18 Social Prescribing: A New Approach To Health
22:05 How Antidepressants Actually Work
27:13 Biopsychosocial Diagnoses
35:10 The Effects of Nature
44::08 Reclaiming Movement
56:57 Belonging & Your Health
1:08:05 Quality vs. Quantity of Connections
1:12:14 The Social DSM
