I think you're catching the overall sentiment, which is "why does it matter?". I actually wonder whether the causal direction works the other way sometimes with anxiety/depression. The combination of the two makes it hard to evaluate or visualize long term positive outcomes of current actions, so you're more likely to gravitate towards things that are immediately rewarding.
My unrelated take is that remote work is going to make this problem way worse.
People with ADHD are 2.7 times more likely to deal with depression than people without.
This is very subjective and I can’t put a finger on what it is exactly but something in this post just feels like depression.
