Like many people I’ve wondered why the explosion in mental health problems in recent times. Everything from anxiety, ADHD, autism, the entire transgender issue to name a few.
Yes, to a certain extent they’ve existed forever but it was always at the margins however the depth and breadth of phenomena over the last 25/30 years seems to have come out of nowhere.
The “industry” will argue however that they’ve just got better at detecting and developed drugs to deal with it.
Perhaps so. But is there something else going on?
Problems caused by one thing to sort another thing causing another thing?
And so people end up in an incipient spin, precipitating a doom loop of despair, exacerbating existing depression and ruminating suicidal ideation.
Like taking out a second credit card to pay off the first one.
For a long time I’ve thought perhaps people need to get a dose of old fashioned religion or spirituality into (or back into) their lives.
Has the pharmaceutical industry and the psychiatrists couch replaced the church as the centre of the community?
Has therapy with a twenty foure year old social worker or psychiatrist with no life experience but who feels your pain, merely replaced the confession or the family?
