re: Why has mental health declined so much over the years?

Do you feel like mental health struggles are just a lot more amplified today because it is so much out in the open?

We fricking pander to everyone who claims to have mental health problems instead of telling them to suck it up. We also indoctrinate people to believe they have problems when they don’t. I truly don’t believe it’s as prevalent as we’re told. But many people claim to be a “victim” and thus we must treat them as such. There’s
Money to be made off of them as well.

think back to our grandparents era, say the 1940’s. Obviously antidepressants didn’t exist back then. I know the field of psychology was around, but did people during that time have therapy options like we do today?

for the most part those people were too busy making a living and raising families to have time for depression. And if they did, they sucked it up and lived with it quietly instead of treating it. And no one really gave a shite anyway.
