Findings from its application in a Finnish study reveal that stronger alignment with these so-called “woke” beliefs correlates with heightened instances of anxiety and depression, as detailed in a publication in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology.

In the case where there were such systemic injustices and they ought to be (but had not been) addressed, anxiety and depression would be evidence of mental function.
