Mental Health Issues Everywhere!

No, they've always had all that shit. They just didn't have names for it before.

No and it's an extremely concerning issue. Mental health is a behemoth of an industry now and unlike traditional medicine, it is easier to branch into the digital space through things like web therapy, stress control / mindfulness apps, blogs etc that don't require physical interaction like traditional medicine. So nomenclature of numerous disorders become widely circulated and stupid people start to self-diagnose in an effort to simply justify their awful behavior. Meanwhile the industry keeps telling everybody that they NEED therapy, when in fact they don't. Therapy CAN be helpful to SOME people who genuinely need it, but to the vast majority of people it is just a way to hear blind positive affirmations about themselves from a stranger - someone to say "wow that must have been so hard for you, you were so brave to have dealt with that, you're so strong". No, you just took the subway and saw an ugly naked dude passed out on the floor. You're not brave and you don't deserve a pat on the back for that.

It is important to feel negative emotions, to embrace insecurities, doubts and acknowledge flaws you might have because that's how you grow into a better more well rounded person- but obviously nobody wants to admit that they're just fat and lazy when they can blame it on "eating disorders and self esteem issues due to society's unrealistic expectations".

Nobody wants to just admit that they're ugly and that there's nothing wrong with being ugly if you have other stuff to offer to society - when instead they can just say that EVERYBODY is beautiful and they have body dysmorphia and self esteem issues due to "society's antiquated norms on beauty".

Nobody wants to admit that they're just horny assholes when instead they can be comforted by a therapist who tells them that they're a sex addict because they're trying to fill a void left by an unloving parent.

Nobody wants to admit that they're just shitty inconsiderate people when they can blame it on various pathologies or personality disorders.

The WORST for me is when people confuse the word depression with sadness. Sadness is a necessary human experience and an important emotion, but everyone throws around the word "depressed". Like "Omg my boyfriend of 2 weeks broke up with me, I'm so depressed" or like "I've been feeling really depressed since watching this documentary about child trafficking". No. you're just feeling sad and maybe having more thoughts than your tiny brain is accustomed to. These people have no idea what a horrifying and paralytic thing genuine medically diagnosed clinical depression truly is.

But anyway, the mental health industry thrives on self-diagnosis like this. Gradually, people who are just conflict-resolution mediators start calling themselves counselors. Counselors start calling themselves therapists. Therapists start to believe that they're clinical psychologists. And clinical psychologists start to believe that they're psychiatrists. Because everybody profits off some delusional idiot who wants to throw a pit party for themselves instead of just admitting that they're awful people.

So in actuality, there has NOT been a rise in mental health issues. There has been a rise in SELF-DIAGNOSED mental health issues.

I think people enjoy trying to fit in one of those categories. How many are self diagnosed with these disorders instead of professionally diagnosed? Look how many people say they have PTSD (again, self diagnosed). People say they are fat because of xyz disorder, instead of looking at what unhealthy food they eat and their own lack of exercise. Mental health issues do exist, but so does a lack of accepting personal life choices

I'm sure there are many factors. One large one has to be the rise of single motherhood. Children need their fathers. Boys raised without a strong male figure tend to get into more trouble, so it's not good for them. But it's probably even worse for young women. They need the safety and security that comes from having a strong, stable male figure around. Without that they never get to internalize that feeling of safety and so they go out into the world feeling vulnerable and lost. The results are on display all around us.

There's a lot of scam to psychology (not to sound like a scientology wacko) and women are the main target of the scam and always have been. Women used to be sent to shrinks to deal with their hysteria and their treatment was vibrators. Later it was "Mother's Little Helper" and now it's a wide range of "medicine" for a wide array of disorders.

On the other side you have women today embracing their mental disorders (or wanting to have them) as part of their empowerment while wanting more positions of responsibilities. There is very little desire to deal with these problems. Men suffering mental disorders often want to get rid of them, push them down, and not let them define them while women will cheerfully list their disorders as part of their personality in their dating profiles and expect men to accept them.

Part of it this food. Sugar, which is added to everything, screws up your hormones after long term use, and messes with your mind. Even so, it does seem women are more effected than men.

BPD and NPD women are everywhere. It is not your imagination. Our society and social media has made them prevalent and all over. The mellenials, focus on the me part, are absolutely horrid people and will be a horrid generation that social media smartphones and participation trophies ruined.

Every generation complains but the mellenial women are the worst. It is going to be horrid when they get into political power and are in control of the aging generation x and Xennials that are the last remnants of a generation that grew up without technology in your hand that has more compute power than NASA used to land on the moon.

Note they use this power for selfies and complaining how they deserve everything for nothing.
