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?

No.

People are simply without hope or purpose, and that sentiment is compounded by the destructive nature of social media and mainstream media.

Think of your run of the mill American. They have to wake up every day to perform a dead end job, which they likely hate, to receive a meager pay to buy all the crap they are told they have to have to be happy, while constantly being bombarded by images and videos of others who have it “better” than they do.

Nihilism, hopelessness

Everything is negative everywhere and to obtain something “positive”, you need money, resulting in a chase with no success at the end.
