Awesome !  Glad to see this! 
SSRIS may become the new smoking in the public eye. 

Can’t stop the train it’s coming 🤷‍♂️

 

I will say this here I guess. The company I work for is moving away from mainstream medicine as the answer for everything. (not completely as some we have to have). They are looking at saving money by keeping us healthy. 
 

They have given us an option to join a go pivot health app. We get points for taking care of ourselves. Excercise, nutrition, counseling, check up, flu shot, massage,  self help, sleep, etc. daily mindfulness and positive gratitude time is 2 of the activities. There are several other mental activities and resources on there.
