I have a relative whose mother suffered from depression. The father was able to afford cleaning help, therapy, and yes, vacations for the two of them. They even went away for Pesach (please no comments if you disagree, it was a big help for the mom). Do you think money helped?
I work as a special ed teacher. I have a student with LD and behavior issues. Parents are able to afford a behavior therapist for nightly hw, a mid-winter vacation with a babysitter who comes along, and money for sp ed camp while they go to EY to recharge their batteries. Money helps?
Do you know anyone who has unfortunately used Chai Lifeline and all their resources? It helps a lot. Donate if you can. Let your money help someone who really can use it.
BTW, this is off the topic. Regular people also get to recharge their batteries with a 10 day vacation. You can’t compare a 2 day to a 10 day. You can’t compare it if you “get out of dodge” to a staycation. Regular people also enjoy extra cleaning help before Pesach. Regular people also enjoy eating out once in a while. If you’re happy without it, great! Some rich people are unhappy no matter what they have. The research is about the average person.
