Why Is Mental Illness On The Rise || @BridgesStudio

I mean we also dont move much anymore for a creature that evolved to move to survive and me move away from our families for our jobs. These seem like they could be bug factors

Your culture is toxic. Social media is an easy scapegoat but its your way of life that's the biggest problem, in addition to the breakdown of the family which provides the foundation of a healthy society.

What about commercials and their effects? every commercial is you are not right the way you are, but you could be if you had…

Wow, such poor interpretations from this guy and commenters

People treat each other poorly that is the culprit improve the interaction and prove the mental health

"Social media is destroying your mental health" says mental health practitioner whose business is mostly on social media.

Hilarious. all of these things are pointing to systemic social contract that hasn't been fulfilled – and that is we work to hard for too little. so the question that everyone NEEDS TO ASK THEMSELVES IS WHAT IS VALUABLE?

I've lived both sides of the last two centuries and it was better on the other side.

I can write an entire book on the lists of things deliberately making one stressed and beaten down today that didn't even exist when I was a kid.

Even chip packets don't open as they use too. That's just one tiny thing. I can't turn around in my own home without some senseless stupid thing stressing me out. To that the world just screams 'disorder' mmm nope. Try not making everything infuriating and of utterly poor quality. For just starters.

(*These are just some trivial reasons many are more overwhelmed than ever before. I couldn't fit in the more serious ones.)

Another is how this is posted for the world to view and I bet if I get any reply at all – if it's not randomly deleted for no reason – it'll probably only be a troll reply.

Constant unwanted fake, mean and violent content slammed into us from valgur adds on streaming sites and on YouTube itself. Type in something innocent and you'll get an abrupt slap in the face of something sick.

So we are more alone, unhelped, stressed and left completely unable to do a dam thing about it. Watch our lives needlessly waste away….

These are just a few reasons why many are having more mental health issues than ever.

Oh just wait

We are also undereducated in understanding and accepting ourselves.

Yeah, its hard to stay positive when everything is so bad. Its fine to not worry about but as a minority its important to stay up on the news. We dont have the luxury to ignore the world

I heard a very interesting quote from my priest about the struggles of today and to keep it short. He said that nowadays this day and age we are living like the queens and kings up in castles hundreds of years ago and we don’t know what to do with ourselves. He did touch on some other topics like technology making things too easy for daily life and negative secular promotion of culture that we see today. But that quote about how the every day Joe is living like a king and doesn’t know what to do with himself now just sticks with me

I disagree. It's isolation. If you were well connected, and thriving socially, technology wouldn't effect you much nor would you be on it to such extent. He's hyperbolizing and hypothesizing. Isolation however, does cause mental illness. That's proven. Your life expectancy also goes down. Should be obvious but Americans don't really seem to acknowledge it, which further worsens the problem.
If you have doubts… the growing homeless population (most with serious mental health issues) on the street are not there because of tick tock or Instagram… yes, you can say drugs… but the root cause is weak social networks, lack of family or dysfunctional family and if any "friends", bad influences. That's the root issue. People don't wake up one day and decide to do fentanyl for no reason… but if you're isolated and feeling unloved that's plenty of reason (especially if you're going through a hard time… which happens to everyone btw).

If you have to watch the big bang theory… work out while you do it

Yes social media is made to be addictive via anger ofc its deleterious.

But "there may be other things going on" is ridiculous. Idk imperial countries doing infinite genocide wars and tearing up the earth into concrete track marks while we all ride around on exploding vibrating missiles and everything in their viscinity dies might be having a negative effect possibly

Graphene oxide

Everyone is poor, broke, tired and overworked. And the wealthiest among us post their W's constantly making us all bitter.

4h is not low. Its basically most of people free time.

I mean yeah, but theres something else you could do to help mental health problems massively. Remember, theres also the fact that the USA doest have a universal health care system, which objectively leads to poorer average healthcare outcomes. It also cuts the US government way more money to have the current health care system that a universal healthcare system, something most Americans don't know (it costs the US far more money per capita than either the UK or Canada, and it has worse healthcare outcomes due to this). Not only does this negatively impact mental health, but the knock on effect is a higher crime rate (mental health obviously contributes to this, along with the fact that it contributes to the USA's terrible poverty rate, which is worse than nearly every other western nation, and poverty breeds crime)

🤷🏿‍♂️ plus we have kicked God & morality out of our lives.😒😈
