Leading experts say working from home is bad for mental health. In particular, leads to the development of anxiety, depression and eating disorders. Daily Mail writes about it. " According to cultural guru Malcolm Gladwell, it's very hard to feel needed when you're physically disconnected.. " With people back in the office, it's really hard to explain the basic psychological truth that we want to have a sense of belonging and feel needed.. It's not in your best interest to work from home. I know it's a hassle to come to the office, but if you're just sitting in your pajamas in your bedroom... what a mess you've made of your life.? " In addition, psychologists warn that social interaction hunger, screen overuse and constant distractions can have a profound effect on mental well-being.. " In addition, a pre-pandemic US study found that journalists who worked remotely were 67% more likely to experience loneliness than those who worked in the office.. " One therapist's chair broke because she sat in it every day for six weeks during the pandemic, except for sleep.. It's kind of a metaphor. The chair is broken, but so is her spirit.. If you move ten meters from your bedroom to your office every day, you can expect your mental health to suffer as a result.. Video calls are not a substitute for face-to-face communication, research has shown," Yet, despite this clear psychological damage, more than half of all homeworkers said they would quit if they were forced to return to the office full-time, according to a survey last October.. " If we are not given a choice, we resist. We also love routine, and once we get used to something, it is very difficult for us to get rid of this habit..

By the time we are later reminded of hard feelings, they are usually not so upsetting anymore, because we have already moved away from them a little..
