Study: "Woke" attitudes linked to anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness

A study in Finland found that critical social justice attitudes are not as common as media discussions suggest. Researchers suggest there may be an attempt to portray normal people as in the minority.
The study revealed a link between embracing woke ideologies and increased anxiety, depression, and unhappiness, especially among female participants. These individuals reportedly suffered higher levels of mental health issues compared to non-woke individuals.
Woke discourse has made its way into Finnish society according to study author Oskari Lahtinen. The research highlighted a negative correlation between progressive ideals and levels of happiness among the Finnish population.
