There are some good answers in the thread, but the main answer is really simple. Our psyche was built around being constantly in danger and constantly in need. This required us to be constantly busy preparing defenses, gathering food, and storing for hard times. None of this is necessary any more. We are free to indulge ourselves, and the lack of boundaries causes many of us to lose our minds.
