Cognitive Skills Activity: Future Mental Health Scenario Analysis

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Nice project  ...  who will be funding it and how much will be avaiable over the next few years for research and analysis? 

@RedStar01 Hi there, this is an activity we can all reflect on and share insights about. It is a hypothetical scenario. 

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I would like to focus on identifying negative and detrimental elements in our current social condition and discuss what we can do to reduce the impact on our mental condition as individuals and as part of of society .... maybe we can come up with a list of such mind polluting factors, prioritise them in their saverity and suggest some srrategies to reduce or eliminate their debilitating impact on our mental health. 

I find there are a number of politically motivated reasons for not advancing a greater use and a better anderstanding for the application of critical thought development systems in contemporary society providing for greater tolerance of all sorts of excuses for low levels of education, poor communication and thinking skills to justify greater compliance with mass manipulation and propaganda which reduced the overall intellectual potential of a given population.

@SoulfullyAButterfly and @hope

hmmmm this is definitely worth thinking about.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

 Thinking about the future of mental health, I looked at different views on stress, technology, and healthcare. I imagined scenarios ranging from things getting better to more challenges ahead. I used critical thinking to check the facts and think about the big picture.

Thinking long-term, I saw the need for solutions that fit into our bigger society. This process helped me think better, understand complexity, and stay focused on long-term goals, in line with my commitment to tackle tough issues.

Thank you for your post. 

I want to comment on Research the Scenario.

Research the Scenario: Gather information from credible sources on the factors contributing to the projected increase in mental health challenges. Explore different viewpoints and expert opinions on this issue.

I feel that this is really important because in anything we do, I feel that we should gather information before we make decisions. Sometimes we can just go with our guts, but sometimes things does not turn well or people get hurt in the process. So I just wanted to comment that this is a really good point that anyone can use in their life to make a decision about anything in life. 

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Scenario: Imagine a future where the prevalence of mental health challenges continues to rise due to various societal factors, such as increased stress, social isolation, and economic uncertainty.

I believe in a world were there would be a rise in mental health would be chaos, confusion, and norms and standard actions and beliefs being reversed. \

@SoulfullyAButterfly I took some time to think about this one. What came to my mind is how I stayed active during the pandemic. This was a time where cognitive thinking came into play. While being cooped up in a house for four years was not fun, utilizing that time by creating activities kept me busy.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Nice project

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I plan to incorporate this activity into this year's academic structure and come back here with some proper research and analysis. This might make a good pre-thesis paper too :)
