Anxiety and depressive disorders are affecting more and more people, affecting one in five workers in our professions every year, one of the highest rates in Europe. Public psychiatry is on its last legs. In this context, mental health, as a major national cause for 2025/2026, represents an absolutely unique opportunity to invent concrete and useful measures.
The CNC decided to take part because, since ancient times, mankind has sensed that art heals. Apollo is both god of the arts and of medicine.
Launched in 1999, the "culture and health" program in public hospitals is often limited to local experiments.
It's time to go national and assume that culture can become a structured instrument of public health. Each doctor could prescribe up to five cinema admissions per year. This "cultural prescription" could become a pioneer in Europe and provide the world with an original model.
Culture is not a luxury reserved for the elite. It's a possible way to care for the soul, and a public health policy in its own right.
The cost of going to the movies pales in comparison to the cost of loneliness and exclusion.
Zeus and his muses, from whom the name music derives, foresaw this, and it's up to us to transform this age-old intuition into national action.
Why don't our elected representatives ask our billionaires to invest, through a foundation, in health, education and development aid?
That's what Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, does. Speaking of Musk's cuts to humanitarian aid during his brief stint in the Trump administration, he had said: "The image of the richest man in the world killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one."
The investment was $100 billion, with the aim of reaching $200 billion by 2045.
Here's hoping that the new year will bring some courageous but necessary reforms to relieve our ailing public finances.
It's okay to dream!
