According to a new study from Ohio State University (click here), performing good deeds can reduce moderate-to-severe depression and anxiety and relieve stress. Simply being around other people and participating in social activities is not enough according to researchers. Going beyond and performing direct acts of kindness helps you connect to others on a more profound level, and that was found to dramatically improve mental health and increase life satisfaction.
