      Everyone’s brains are different. For some SSRIs might work. For others, SNRIs. While there are claims of cocaine and prostitutes being helpful for some, that’s not really scientifically proven and there the significant health and imprisonment risks. There is, however, strong evidence for certain psychedelics.

      TL;DR - Drugs might be helpful for some.

      The sibling comment said drugs which may be effective for some people but I’d actually just highlight “leisure” being able to afford to explore when your mind takes you is a luxury that pays off massively for your mental health. I have wanderlust and I’m a programmer, sometimes my legs want to move and, with my understanding boss, I can go out into the world and walk along the beaches or through the forest while I ponder problems… this is a huge boon for my mental health and is something most employees can’t afford due to monetary stresses and toxic employers.
