PARCA/Parity: Difference between revisions

 

Loosely paraphrasing the Parity Principle as that "mental health is built on physical heath" turns a truth into a half-truth. What got lost there is that, for instance, depressed people find it much harder to will themselves to exercise - because depressed people, especially clinically depressed people, find it harder to will themselves to do virtually ''anything'' except to stay in bed. It turns out that, because of this cyclical pattern of causation between the so-called mental and the so-called physical, the move from 'Me' to 'We' has surprising implications for the Parity principle. There is no alternative but to go over these in low gear.
