# 9: Re thinking Depression and Anxiety.


This talk has huge relevance for many of us today, be it ourselves, our children or our friends. How do we in our communities translate the message, ‘that perhaps depression and anxiety is about thae fact that you are a human being with unmet needs’ to the people we care about who show signs of being depressed or anxious? Is it loneliness? Is it instant gratification from consumerism instead of maintaining values, purpose and what is really important in life? Are we listening for the right signals? Interesting challenge. The talk links to many thoughts coming from modern philosophers like Yuval Harari and Mark Manson about the corruption of society that has taken place.

The talk links beautifully to the theme of 3E that teachers are focusing on this Friday and Saturday, from I to We.
