Very brave man Joe and I like his way of attitude. It’s difficult in UK to keep a good mental health because the daily life is so complicated and challenging.

[@sararichardson737]

He’s right. 20 yrs ago I was deeply dpressed. Took up vigorous exercise, meditation n fish oils. I haven’t taken anti depressants since. Because you’re worth it

[@CallMeMrRook]

We absolutely need to exercise more... SO EVERYONE STAND IN FRONT OF YOU TELESCREEN AND FOLLOW THE STATE MANDATED EXERCISES Where have I heard this before?

[@seanmahoney8062]

If you want to be well,( not fearful ),and in control of your own wellbeing , check out Wim Hoff, dont make excuses ,take action you dont need to be sick and afraid

And then there's those who have had a long, hard life of physically demanding work and they now have severe joint issues and basically struggle to move? I call it 'cantfkinmovesyndrome'.

HELLO...

[@roxy6240]

The mental health of folks in the West seems so fragile.. All the endless babble and whine about it.

[@jabbermocky4520]

There's a whole lotta crazy to go around. As they do with material possessions, the richest also hoard the most mental illnesses. Hoarding excess stuff to the detriment of all others is a symptom of severe mental illness. The rich think they're the "healthy" ones. They think the poor are crazy. Well, that means 99.5% of humanity is crazy in the minds of the rich. Nothing nutty about that, right? (lol)

Was that the guy who stitched up Michael Jackson and Diana??

No, that was the disgraced Martin Bashir. This interviewer is called Krishnan Guru-Murthy and is a Channel 4 news anchor.

Fake. We need to go out - walk, trek. do everyday activities. breathe in the fresh air, PLAY.

[@mikeharvey9811]

Now we need to be talking about the climate.....no good having health physical and mental without a world.......we should be talking about a healthy planet EVERY NEWS ITEM WE HAVE NO TIME ,

I think pollution and destruction of nature is more important than 'climate-panic'.

No to forced or coerced vaccines.

You sound a bit sniffly ....have you been tested?

[@vthomas375]

Fake. We need to be allowed to explore the restricted areas. At the root of man's mental health issues are the existential: not knowing where he is, why he's here e.t.c..

[@billbob458]

"Mental Health" is another buzzword. If you were so concerned about "mental health" then you'd promote nuclear families and *not* propaganda about a virus
