      I think there are many aspects of modern life that are increasing the amount of stress that people face and that may not fit well with how our mental life is organised. This includes the way we consume media and social media, which results in a constant barrage of new information, as well as changes in economic life, such as the gig economy, unaffordable housing, and reduced pensions and job security.
