Perhaps, but it is a lot easier to take long term action on your mental tendencies if you don't feel the blackness closing in every second.

We have a long century ahead of us to pull out of the mental health slump we are seeing (similar perhaps to the physical health slumps following industrialisation). We will need many tools in the kit.

Interesting perspective that large societal shifts account for shifts in the type of health outcomes.

One problem I see is that if people are too tied to their subjective well-being, then it is a frame of mind that can never be satisfied.
