What's causing America's mental health crisis?

Experts said the crisis was made worse by the COVID pandemic

[@rays18]

Lack of strong community and family bond is the real root of this problem.

[@toohak2782]

Which is triggered by capitalism bleieve it or not, full on capitalism breaks apart families and juts promotes the top people who take advantage of the system, disgusting and shameful

[@Majorfarter]

What’s the point in trying to explain? There’s a troll waiting in the comment section to tell me why I’m wrong for being depressed.

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

@fishmannematode4557 are you really depressed or are you just saying it ?

It's unfortunate, the previous generations created this depressing society and now they are blaming us for being the problem

[@cobaltbluestickman5557]

It’s happening because they allowed it to happen. No real attempt to stop it.

[@GIONELLIO]

I don't know if it's just me or others see it too- Americans seem to be more irritable and angry recently and the mental health of the country seems to be in jeopardy. A lot perhaps shout for help and no one responds and this become a sort of a new epidemic.

[@danielwanjiku-of6ir]

Fr,, look at schools(kids hating on each other, bullying with impunity, neighborhood hating on each no one want to consider or understand one another, on roads people are easily triggered leading to avoidable road rage. Everyone want respect and validation without giving. Everyone thumping their chests, everyone want to be know as a bada#s,, no one want to be humble.

Materialistic and consumerist society, values devalued for the continuation of sex, drugs, alcohol, and tickling our egos rather than following our heart, this countries elite and corporate techno-RATS really are starting to piss me off

[@cobaltbluestickman5557]

Depression often leads to people using drugs.

[@toohak2782]

@@cobaltbluestickman5557 yeah, i started using weed to cope with problems i already had that was created from society from the first place, plus our highly used capitalist ideological system has led us to have an increase in such issues, and creates most of these issues in the first place. Not everyone can follow the same system then we have toxic subcultures that are created as a response. Ultra-Capitalism destroys communities, especially already built ones where people already created them long ago without the use of ideologies such as capitalism, or even authoritarian communism.

[@Uprising771]

they are on drugs because of depression and feelings of hopelessness.

[@toohak2782]

Yeah, maybe fix society first then people won’t have to use drugs so recklessly when their own lives are made to be boring af. “Personal responsibility is just as good as it’s environment, and environment is really hard to change when you can’t”

This is just another day in America.

You act as if other countries don’t have a similar issue.

[@user-vw3gz5jy5f]

I’m going to be blunt here. I was diagnosed with combination type ADHD about a year ago, and it’s definitely stigmatized. Yet, a person can decide their gender regardless of their sex and it’s considered normal? Something’s definitely off here.

Besides the obvious reasons, like break down of community, no real life friends, etc. they might also want to look at low grade inflammation caused eating junk food.

[@mariaagosti-pm7tk]

People are social animals. We need social contact. When we see people living better lives on social media, it makes us feel disconnected and envious. We need a simple life, with friends, family and a stable income. Million dollars do nott bring you happiness, a stable income does and good people around you. People feel like they cant keep up anymore. The world is changing every day. Some people feel overwhelmed by this.

[@sewerdawgs]

[@bethfrensley5570]

I blame the CDC and FDA trying to medicate youth with ADHD stimulants which is a contradiction for one that is bipolar causing severe psychosis once they become adults. We adult parents did not grow up on medication why trying to medicate the youth. Our entire system needs to be a healing learning approach vs your destructive approach. FDA and CDC needs to be arrested for crimes against humanity. We need justice bc the entire system is corrupt.

You de realize back in the day those with psychosis were locked away in asylums

[@bryantsamperi3402]

Unbelievable! You traumatized 10s of millions of children with 100s of millions of violent and sexually perverse alcohol related crimes in the past 60 years, all primary causes of PTSD and other stress disorders, then you waged a war to ensure that drug, the recreational drug of choice of the medical community, had a monopoly over the market. You waged war on the traumatized victims of the nation's drunken violence and sexual perversion. You blamed their cannabis consumption for all their failures and problems as you denied them equal protection under the law that you gave alcohol druggies. And you have the thoughtlessness to wonder what caused the mental health crisis. Good grief!
