Why are mental disorders skyrocketing now , especially among teens?

I don't get it in a way. I think they have it far easier in many ways than some of us older people, yet they can't seem to handle reality well. Maybe too many meds/drugs, lack of family structure, discipline and guidance. Plus too much time living in the fantasy of social networking versus reality?

Are they skyrocketing or is population just getting bigger and media making it easier to see into other people's lives?

Lack of home life/strong family order and too many chemicals designed to alter humanity.

Processed food, immunization, drugs

Because modern society is raising a bunch of coddled pussies.

It's a cry for attention.

I'm sure there are a lot of reasons. One is that a lot of people simply never got diagnosed in the past. But also modern living is just not all that healthy, for a whole variety of reasons. We ingest weird chemistry, spend too much time alone instead of interacting with peers (yet communicating too much, just electronically), are bombarded with (mostly useless) information to the point it's driving us crazy, have bizarre sleep patterns, don't get enough excercize etc, etc...

The young ones who are still developing are the hardest hit.

But of course - there is also the rose colored glasses effect where you look back to your childhood and everything seems all right, simple, and how it should be.

Immunizations

A lot of it is due to insurance. In order to bill for things everything has to have a label. As for reasons why mental illnesses are happening more, it would stand to reason that all the chemicals that we put into our body that are not natural, are what cause mental illnesses, and or other illnesses. If you just take deodorant and shampoo alone, the ingredients inside most shampoos and deodorants are deadly. Not to mention all the hormones that are used to grow the meats that we eat.

So the question is what do we do. That's a hard one because unless you're rich you can't afford to pay for the organic or natural things. That's a hard question to deal with.

Because the drug companies can make a lot more money, and the doctors get a kick back on the drugs they prescribe.

I am looking at the statistics and it doesn't seem to be a rise specific to teens, adults too.

Access to healthcare deterioration must stand at the very center of the cause.

I dunno, I think I'm perfectly fine.

It is no different then when I was growing up in the 70s. Everyone was doing drugs and going to concerts.

Too much stress and drama. I know from experience.

Because they are weak.

The education system

They are?
