Ep 253 | Feeling Stress: Medication or Meditation?

Author: Blaze Podcast Network September 3, 2024 Duration: 1:01:26
The big new thing in American business is the meteoric increase in the number of employees taking off days for mental health. Sounds like a good thing, right? Seems to afflict mostly the under 35 crowd. There is also a monumental increase in conversation about mental illness. A frightening large proportion of people are taking psychiatric medication in numbers never before seen. So, is mental disease on the increase? Or are normal challenges of a busy normal life being pathologized into mental disease? Especially since there is virtually no mental disorder with any detectable biological marker. Different doctors--different diagnoses and different treatment. Unbelievably large numbers of school boys are taking stimulants like Ritalin or Aderall. Does this reflect growing medical sophistication or a terrible wrong turn. What does your body have to do with all this? What does your soul have to do with all this? Join all the other Happy Warriors in the Happy Warrior community https://www.wehappywarriors.com/    Learn more about your ad choices.

Tune in to Rabbi Daniel Lapin for a conversation that cuts through the noise of modern life, connecting ancient wisdom to today's most pressing questions. Hosted by the insightful Rabbi Daniel Lapin and presented by the Blaze Podcast Network, this series explores the enduring principles found within religious tradition, philosophy, and a thoughtful examination of culture. Each episode feels like a necessary pause, a chance to consider the foundational ideas that shape our society, our personal choices, and our spiritual health. You'll hear discussions that range from practical guidance for family and business to deeper explorations of faith and morality, all grounded in a perspective that values timeless truth over temporary trends. The central premise of this podcast is a compelling one: in a world that seems to reinvent itself daily, our greatest security and clarity come from understanding what remains constant. Rabbi Lapin draws from a deep well of knowledge to reveal how these permanent things actively inform and influence our contemporary reality, from politics and economics to relationships and community. It’s for anyone seeking substance and stability, offering listeners not just commentary but a framework for living with purpose. The dialogue is engaging, often challenging conventional wisdom, and always aimed at providing tools for a more meaningful and principled life. This isn't about abstract theory; it's about how the world REALLY works, applying age-old insights to help navigate the complexities of the 21st century.
