What is demoralization?
I have a question about this episode Dr. Paul Conti: How to Understand & Assess Your Mental Health | Huberman Lab Guest Series and this clip Demoralization Explained. In "Pillars of Mental Health," there are heuristics about generative, aggressive, and pleasure drives. I don't understand the statement "Too high leads to ENVY, too low leads to DEMORALIZATION." Is it about the generative drive? How can a generative drive that's too high lead to envy? Is it more aligned with the aggressive drive that's too high?
