What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?
i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

Chess is such a great game that really makes you think critically about your thinking, I enjoy playing it anytime I am feeling brain fog from antidepressants as it keeps me in the real world.
One lesson I’ve taken away from it is that playing good chess is much less about coming up with astonishing brilliant moves than I thought. It’s more about making good decisions, positioning yourself well, and continuously applying pressure. If you keep doing that you will have good results most of the time. Great life lesson, hit me in the face like a ton of metaphors when I realized that.
Absolutely. I’d argue it’s one of the best games to teach kids, siblings, etc.
I plan on teaching my nephew when he turns 10 as a way to help him think about things critically in which he can apply to the real world.
You should! My grandfather figure taught me how to play chess, I look back on the time we spent together fondly
Brain fog is real, definitely not talked about enough! One of the worst things to come out of being depressed and then being on SSRIs is that I struggle to read these days. I love reading but I don’t have much brainpower left to take things in anymore
