A new large-scale longitudinal study has found a clear link between episodes of depression and anxiety experienced by adults in their twenties, thirties and forties, with a decrease in memory function by the time they are in their fifties. The Sussex psychologists analysed data from the National Child Development Study, which was established in 1958 with a cohort of over 18,000 babies and followed participants from birth into childhood and through to adulthood. The Sussex psychologists found that an accumulation of symptoms experienced by participants over the three decades provided a strong indicator of a linear decrease in memory function by the time the adults were fifty. They found that one episode of depression or anxiety had little effect on the memory function of adults in midlife, regardless of which decade it was experienced, but that once the episodes increased to two or three over the course of the three decades, that this predicted a steady decrease in the participant's memory function by the time they reached fifty. This, the psychologists from the EDGE Lab at the University of Sussex argue, highlights an opportunity to protect future memory function by promoting mental health interventions amongst young adults and they are calling on the UK government to invest in the mental health of young adults as a preventative measure to protect the future brain health of our ageing population.

This is a very interesting study. However, I remain surprised that people still only grudgingly agree that mental wellness is an important aspect of health. Moreover, there are so many different ways to address anxiety, stress, and depression. There's medication (prescribed by a professional, one hopes), counselling, therapy (so many different kinds: animal, art, music, sport, nature, aroma, and the list is endless). People are numbed by the sheer number of options. Then there are the institutionalized approaches: that is, narratives deemed appropriate for schools, colleges, and universities. See this list of psychology titles for example. The titles mainly address "the individual"--that is, schools and colleges aim to equip individuals to deal with the pressures of "being in the world," as philosophers would call it. Then, there's the opposite approach--a residue of a more hostile climate--that urges individuals to simply think of the collective good, which, advocates claim, extinguishes negative thoughts. Where do people go, really, to address their mental health, then? Personally, I'd recommend Joseph Brodsky's brilliant essay " In Praise of Boredom." Brodsky simply suggests that the only way out is through. Depression/severe boredom, he claims, is a window to the crushing infinitude of time. He may not be wrong. It's a very rewarding essay.

I'm extremely depressed that people willingly get suckered in by what these pretentious know-it-alls preach. The designated authorities are paid according to how many bird-brains repeat their gibberish as gospel. Memories of our mind-slave era are something I'll be glad to forget.
