I would say that
depression and other mental issues destroy mind and sick minds in their turn destroy environment.
We can use our time and energy for three kinds of activities........Physical Work, Subjective Work (Experience) and Mental Work.
For millions of years on earth environment did not get destroyed because activity was limited to physical work or subjective experience.........Millions of animal species did physical work........Man did physical work in hunter_gatherer stage and agrarian stage.......A very small percentage of population that did not do physical work spent its time and energy on subjective experience - religion, spirituality, yoga, meditation, pranayama and the arts.
Largescale destruction of environment began when man started using his time and energy for mental work - science, technology, engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, business, finance, economics.........This led to industrialization and production (and selling) of thousands of consumer goods and services.
As long as we limited our activity to physical work or subjective experience we destroyed very little environment.
When we switched over to mental work / desk jobs, we started producing (and selling) consumer goods and ended up destroying the planet in just about 100 years.

The epidemic of mental illness came with industrialization.
A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing down as depression / anxiety.
A travelling society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing down as depression / anxiety.
A society that entertains itself every day experiences every non-entertaining moment as depression / anxiety.
Mental illness is a consequence of the switch-over from physical work to mental work / desk jobs........Mental illness is a consequence of the switch-over from living in small communities to large cities........Mental illness is a consequence of the switch-over from producing food to producing consumer goods.
For millions of years on earth man did hard physical work........Mental work / Desk jobs have come into existence only in the last hundred years.
For millions of years man lived in small groups / communities.........Large cities having millions of people have come into existence only in the last hundred years.
For millions of years man either searched for food or produced food.........The urban population of industrial society is producing thousands of consumer goods and services.
You can never escape from madness once you have created extra professions........Industrial society has created hundreds of extra professions for its urban population which is not producing food which used to be the main occupation for thousands of years before industrialization..
Industrial society created the fields of Psychology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience.........Industrial society created the Pharmaceutical industry.
Psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists have created new mental diseases.........Pharmaceutical industry has created new medicines for the new diseases..
The cycle of madness can never end in industrial society.
The entire industrial society is insane and criminal.
Industrial society has destroyed forests, rivers, oceans and atmosphere........Industrial society has decimated millions of species.
Can there be any bigger proof of insanity, abnormality and criminality???
Millions of other species destroyed environment only for food...........Industrial man has destroyed environment for food, clothing, shelter plus thousands of consumer goods and services........Industrial man has destroyed exponential extra environment.
Can there be any bigger proof of insanity, abnormality and criminality???

All problems of industrial society have either been created by industrialization or worsened by industrialization.........All problems of industrial society are unsolvable because industrialization itself is the cause of problems.........Problems of industrial society can go away only when industrial society goes away.
Man has spent more than 99.9% of his time on earth in non-industrial societies.
Man lived in hunter_gatherer society for one million years........Man lived in agrarian society for 10,000 years........Man has lived in industrial society for just about 100 years during which he has destroyed the entire planet.
If Urban Society stops its supplies to Rural Society it will live forever.
If Rural Society stops its supplies to Urban Society it will die within a month.
That is the worth of Urban Jobs, Consumer Goods, Growth Rate, Economy Rate and GDP.

Industrialization was the biggest crime on earth.
Agrarian society was the limit for man on earth.

Millions of other species destroyed environment only for food.
Industrial man has destroyed environment for food, clothing, shelter PLUS thousands of consumer goods and services.
Industrial man has destroyed Exponential Extra Environment.
The collective work of human society must be limited to food, clothing and shelter.........Millions of other species only get food from earth.
Millions of other species have already been decimated by industrial activity.........Man is next on the list........Human collapse will come with lightning speed now.
