The link between inequality and anxiety | Richard Wilkinson | TED Talk

Develop your mental health awareness with “The link between inequality and anxiety.” Why are global levels of anxiety and depression so high? In this TED Talk, social epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson presents compelling data on the impact of inequality on mental health and social relationships in countries around the world. Designed to help spur social change when it comes to how we talk about mental health, this talk also provides insight on social hierarchies and how social distance exacerbates inequality and mental illness. This is also a great video to watch to raise your awareness of the importance of emotional intelligence and diversity and inclusion, not distance, in the workplace and beyond.
