I've spent the last year or so immersing myself in the improv scene of a major city and I am convinced that in 50 years time people will look at a weekly improv session as being essential to your mental health in the same way going to the gym or participating in an activity is essential to your physical health. One person I met who is training to be a psychologist is even questioning whether traditional therapy is the best strategy for a lot of disorders because the results they are seeing people getting from improv are so astounding. It brings people of all age brackets together in a way I have never seen any other activity do before - it is a true community builder. I strongly urge anyone suffering from loneliness, depression or anxiety to seek out their nearest school and give it a go or if there's nothing nearby then seeing if you can take a couple of weeks out to do a summer intensive in a big city.
