The basic starting point is fitness which applies to mental health conditioning just as it does to physical exercise.&lt;p&gt;To be fair to your point though the article does say we should shift our thinking on mental health to the same perceptions granted towards physical health. That should mean the mental health evaluation equivalent of a physical every four years. That is absolutely beneficial to everybody because even perfectly healthy people get regular physicals even when they are perfectly healthy.</text><parent_chain><item><author>onion2k</author><text>I find articles like this one where 100% of the onus for coping with mental health problems is put on the individual quite annoying. There&amp;#x27;s nothing in the article about getting help from other people, or how to cope with problems that you &lt;i&gt;can&amp;#x27;t&lt;/i&gt; fix easily. It&amp;#x27;s kind of a toxic attitude because it makes others believe people with mental health issues &lt;i&gt;just aren&amp;#x27;t trying hard enough&lt;/i&gt; and completely ignores individual circumstances or our ability to help ourselves. It&amp;#x27;s all very well to tell people with mental health problems that they should sleep better, eat better and get some exercise, but that ignores the fact that mental health problems can &lt;i&gt;physically&lt;/i&gt; stop people doing that.&lt;p&gt;If fixing your mental health was simple then it wouldn&amp;#x27;t be such a prevalent problem.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Mental Wealth</title><url>https://jjbeshara.com/2020/06/04/mental-wealth/</url></story>
