Sure, so then why are mental health issues appearing to get worse, despite the fact that people were so depressed they beat their kids all the time in the past?
Simple, we’re just better at diagnosing and treating it now, and people are more comfortable admitting to it now.
We’re not worse mental health wise, we’re a hell of a lot better than in the past. People are just more willing to talk about it now, and not try to have a stiff upper lip like with past generations.
