As Roy Lilley (NHSManagers.net) argues:

'The real growth [in the problems of public health] is in the vast middle ground. Millions of people who are not acutely ill, but not entirely well.

People dealing with anxiety, stress, poor sleep, financial pressure, job insecurity, loneliness.

People functioning, coping, but steadily ground down'.

The increasingly precarious, insecure capitalism our political class has facilitated is taking its toll on our mental health.

@braxa26

Sadly the problem with the Japanese system is that actually less than third of the workforce actually benefits - the majority of workers are actually outside the much celebrated employment conditions available to the core workers
