Expat life & mental health

I felt privileged, with a great job, the opportunity to see the world, living in relative luxury...but after almost a decade in paradise, abroad, i found myself struggling. I also saw a few people go borderline insane, alcoholism, depression (goes hand in hand), and i feel i just narrowly escaped. Theres probably more factors to this than just expat life, but i was wondering what insight others can offer, how do you stay sane as an expat, in the long run? A very open question but there's always something to be learned from more experienced people
