    Is mental health becoming more of an epidemic or are we just becoming more aware of it?

        I believe you mean 'mental health ISSUES' rather than mental health itself?

        People are eating worse than ever and taking more drugs than ever. Lack of B12, shifted hormones, large SSRI use, we are bringing forth the epidemic.

        Humans themselves are more resilient to trauma than even psychotherapists believe, see attached. Large portions problems are simpler and more self-inflicted.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/982586921678405633 …

        Girls today get their first period earlier & men today have lower testosterone than 50 yrs ago. Humanity has undergone massive hormonal change. Obesity on our scale is unprecedented, and kills 100-1000x gun violence. Mental health, in context, is a canard for real ills ignored.pic.twitter.com/8f8kE8L6Tt

        US has given up on serious discussion of diet and poor effects on health. The conversation shifts to pretty much any other topic, even if diet and (prescribed) drug use end up being the biggest culprits. I think there's something massive here that's ignored, sorry for soapboxing!

        Both. We've (US primarily) increased the type and number of chemicals that have negative effects on our mental health, while decreasing the activities and chemicals that improve it. social media has a negative effect overall on mental health especially FB & IG. Our testing

        There's the big value of automation for handling tedious repetitive tasks. Computers won't get stressed out by performing the same activities over and over again, unlike humans.

        The suicide rate along teen girls is at a 40 year high. And suicide rate doubled just between 2007 and 2015. That is clearly not just a change in awareness. Something has changed.http://time.com/4887282/teen-suicide-rate-cdc/ …

        both is too easy of an answer. that seems intuitively obvious (hopefully our collective intuitions are on target here). I want to know "how much? and to what degree?" and also "what is the relationship between fraying social fabric and rising anomie and mental health issues?"

        Just becoming more aware. For example let's look at the charts. As range shrinks, behavior normalizes.

        Or the stigma surrounding it has been eroding and people are accepting it for what it is.
