Results: Mental health
I have been struggling a little lately with my mental health, which is something very new to me. Never had issues in the past but things are just piling up lately and I find myself thinking about it more and what factors are contributing to it. Even if you are not currently struggling mental health wise, do you feel that some of these factors can contribute to stress and an overall decline in mental health?

Whether your main source is the News or Social Media or wherever, do you think the constant political animosity on display in both Canada and the U.S. is contributing to a decline in mental health? I mean politics used to only be at the forefront when it was election time. It is more prominent in the U.S. because you have longer election cycles, but now in Canada the hateful rhetoric has expanded way past the 37 to 51 days of campaigning that used to be the norm. Yes
