“Loneliness isn’t the physical absence of other people, he said—it’s the sense that you’re not sharing anything that matters with anyone else.”
Johann Hari, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions

Johann Hari
“in 1965, a British doctor called Alec Coppen came up with a theory. What if, he asked, all these drugs were increasing levels of serotonin in the brain? If that were true, it would suggest that depression might be caused by low levels of serotonin”
Johann Hari, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions

“How do we observe patience?” “In the same manner that we fast; completely certain that the adhān of Maghrib will eventually be called.”
B. B. Abdulla, Timeless Seeds of Advice: The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn al-Jawzi and Other Prominent Scholars in Bringing Comfort and Hope to the Soul

Johann Hari
“Today they are all around us. Some one in five4 U.S. adults is taking at least one drug for a psychiatric problem; nearly one in four5 middle-aged women in the United States is taking antidepressants at any given time; around one in ten6 boys at American high schools is being given a powerful stimulant to make them focus; and addictions to legal and illegal drugs are now so widespread that the life expectancy of white men is declining for the first time in the entire peacetime history of the United States.”
Johann Hari, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions

Johann Hari
“You can’t escape it: when scientists test the water supply of Western countries, they always find it is laced with antidepressants, because so many of us are taking them and excreting them that they simply can’t be filtered out of the water we drink every day.9 We are literally awash in these drugs.”
