Anxiety problem of younger generation
• Their emotion are easily influenced by over information, living under pressure. • They can't afford professional consulting, and may even feel ashamed. • They hate positive thinking without empathy. Feeling exhausted about the problems that could only be solved by themselves. • 情緒容易受過量的資訊影響，生活充滿不確定性與生存壓力。

Psychotherapy is not friendly at all

Few can afford psychotherapy due to time and cost.
People always expect depressed people to buck up and go back to the normal lives. However, without empathy, this kind of positive thinking may hurt others again.
