INTERVIU EXCLUSIV Un cunoscut psiholog american vorbește despre „declinism”, un cuvânt care sună pretențios, dar care se potrivește 100% situației politice și sociale din România

American psychologist Clay Routledge discusses the concept of "declinism" in Romania, highlighting how nostalgia can be manipulated by politicians to create anxiety and division. He emphasizes that while nostalgia can be healthy, it becomes harmful when it fosters a belief that the best days are behind us. Routledge notes that politicians exploit this sentiment to evoke negative emotions and propose nostalgic solutions. He also addresses the stigma surrounding mental health discussions, noting that awareness has improved but access to services remains limited, particularly in rural areas. He warns against the potential for everyday stressors to be pathologized, complicating the stigma further.
