Sean Strickland gets honest about "depression" and "consumerism" plaguing American society, offers remedy for problem: "The fix is easy"

UFC fighter Sean Strickland addressed America’s growing mental health crisis and rampant consumerism in a recent online exchange. When asked by a social media user about a “magical place,” Strickland remarked that while the nation retains its greatness, its people struggle with widespread depression and a deep spiritual void.

He contended that modern society’s obsession with material goods undermines genuine well-being, advising adults to reevaluate their priorities and reject the idolization of commercial symbols.

In a social media post, he wrote:

"America is the greatest country in the world. But there is such a level of depression and spiritual void being filled with consumerism. You see it more when you leave and come back. The fix is easy. Adults just need to stop worshipping the Chinese god amazon."
