If I were an employee at GGG, I would be offended by the patronizing tone Chris has in the opening post of this thread. Chris is in this context not a parent that needs to shield his children against the horrors of the world; the employees are grown adults. If he really cared about their mental health, he would offer them therapy with professionals. I very much doubt Chris is a certified therapist or psychologist.

Every game developer needs to do this...
Games are for people that actually like the game even if they have a few problems and constructive feedback. Forums have long since become a place for people who dislike the game in general and want to change it into something else. Many games became somewhat of democracy and lost their unique appeal. I really like poe and am happy for this stance.

FYI: "Praising" is often not "constructive feedback" in any forum.

Of course it is easy to bury ones head like Ostriches are said to do, to avoid seeing things they do not want to see. Ignorance is a bliss after all.

I've given constructive feedback in this very thread about how GGG can change their own systematic choices to get more positive threads to counter-balance the negative ones. However, due to the reality that GGG has limited time and there more posts with ideas than they can be expected to reply to, it is likely that I'll never know if they ever read and thought about the feedback or if they simply disregarded it.

Apparently i completely misread one of your prior posts as being sarcastically patronizing, while in fact you believed what you were saying. Huh.
Bliss is a dopamine.
I guess i can see how you would come to such a conclusion given the utter state of shit the world could be perceived as being in. But a mental technique i would suggest is focusing on the good and how you can better what isnt, instead of of focusing on the bad which is beyond your control.
