I can’t help but notice the word “honestly” there.
I am sceptical that people are being more honest now than they were before. I think that people feel more sick than they did before. I also feel there is a huge societal trend of medicalizing how people act and feel and expressing it in terms of it being a mental illness or disorder.
I’ve noticed that mental health outcomes keep getting worse and worse and doctors consistently go “wow that’s great there must be so much more awareness and acceptance of mental health problems!” That’s a very self-serving interpretation and I don’t understand why people don’t question it more.
