21st Century Blues: It Isn't Such a Wonderful World After All

Good Day World!

When Jazz icon, Louis Armstrong, recorded the single hit, "What A Wonderful World" in 1967, there were millions of Americans who agreed with him.

But society goes in cycles, and now in the 21st Century most Americans don't think it's such a wonderful world after all.

A new report released by the American Psychological Association (APA) reveals that 57% of Americans say the current political climate is a “very” or “somewhat” significant source of their stress, and close to half of Americans say the outcome of last year's election causes them stress.

8 Reasons for Depression

1. Toxic food: Poisoning your brain so it cannot function properly

2. Heavy metal toxicity: The silent saboteur

3. Lack of nature: Avoiding what grounds your body

4. Psychological attachments: Unwittingly seeking old, familiar misery again and again

5. Consumerism: Desiring stuff that makes you feel empty

6. Lack of exercise: Willingness to feel lethargic

7. Ignorance about feelings: Trapping negative emotions in your body

8. It's a diagnosis: Promoting depression

Sometimes, people can be their own worst enemy.
