Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed data from 1995 and 2005 to understand how mental health and mental illness change over time and if shifts in mental health levels can predict future mental illness.
  • While the overall prevalence of mental disorders remained stable at the population level, individual experiences were dynamic, with many people developing or recovering from mental illnesses within that decade.
  • Changes in mental health levels were strong predictors of future mental illness, indicating that promoting mental health can help prevent mental disorders, while declines in mental health can increase the risk of mental illness.]

@sphams @AdamMGrant I read this a few years ago: https://t.co/B4YNJNHDLV it rings so true, there is a fine line between languishing and depression for me. It’s important to not tip over form one to the other, but also not to remain in a static state of languishing.
