so the you-tube auto translate is bolloxed for this video, I wrote it out bellow hope it isn't too hard to read.
All spoken by BlindBoy:
The best mental health services in the county are charities unfortunately, ya Know People like "Peata House", that shouldn't be the case.
You should be able to go into your GP and the GP says here's a counsellor there, that's on your medical card and there is no six month waiting list, you can get that next week. That's the service that should exist, and then to prevent that, proactively from the ages of three on up, kids should be taught basic psychological tools of how to understand and be resilient with emotions and stress. Which we're not taught, and the reason, and this is bordering into conspiracy theory. The reason I think in our society, western society in general that we are not given these tools is because we can't be advertised to if we are completely mentally healthy.
Because if you think of any brand, If you think of a bar of soap, when was the last time you saw a ad for a bar of soap and they actually tell you how clean it will get you. They don't tell you how clean it will get you, what they'll do is show you photographs of beautiful people. so when you buy this soap they are trying to sell you a better version of yourself. That only works on a population that is not emotionally aware. when a person becomes emotionally aware, and aware of how their feeling, then they start buying soap for how clean it gets them. they are not going to be sold this Idealised version of themselves because they are grounded enough to know that soap isn't going to make me a better person.
so capitalism itself relies upon a population that aren't too self aware so I wonder that's just conspiracy theory stuff now though, that's just me smoking too many joints, do ya know.

Thanks for typing this out.
I think he’s on the right track. There’s a little bit of a chicken and egg conundrum going on here, but his social commentary is more or less right on point.

I was talking about something similar in r/anticonsumption. There was an episode of Hoarders where a guy had an apartment full of stuff. Things he bought off the shopping channel, and his words still stick with me (although maybe not verbatim). He said,"They sell you these things like they're the answer to all your problems. Like it'll make all the bad things go away, if you can just have this one thing. Well," he motioned to the hoard surrounding him, " I have all this and I'm still unhappy and still alone."
I found that striking, and it really made me evaluate why I was buying things. I hate to use this phrase, but it's what really woke me up.
things like that just make me want to ball up and cry. when someone is so clearly un-well and the response the world has is "lets take advantage them". a Shopping/consumer addiction is one of the most soul-crushing things I can Imagine.
What do you think about degrowth over in r/anticonsumption?
Fairly new subscriber to the whole anti-consumption ideology to be honest. Could you explain what that is?
It's an umbrella term that covers anti-capitalism (in favor of a sustainable economic system, not necessarily communism or socialism), ecological preservation, and the need for changing attitudes and clear understanding about the impacts of human interaction on our environment.
Fairly pro degrowth. Mostly a place to be angry at the hyper commercialization of everything.
