Do you find there are a lot more people with anxiety and depression than when you were younger? Do you have any theories/hypotheses on why?
It seems that way although I'm not sure, perhaps there is a bit less stigma now talking about it. My theory is that mobile phones tv, internet and media have made us more disconnected. When I was a teen all we did was walk around outside and go visit each other, we needed to be creative and invented games or else we were bored to death. (I am 36 for reference). I see younger kids in my family who can't peel away from their video games/tablets and tv and they seem to have some social anxiety and don't really go out much. We need to socialize and also exercise and get fresh air to be healthy. I think all of these things combined are creating a cluster fuck of bad physical and mental health. I sadly dont know the answer, I work at a computer myself and am fully addicted to steemit of course. I do make an effort to go out and see people but probably not enough :/ it's a struggle as I am quite introverted and happy to be alone most of the time. When I am socializing I do enjoy it though.
Mmm good answers, I resonate! We're the same age btw, and yeah, being an 80's and 90's child sure was a lot different. I think we ate more pure foods back then too, and I spent a LOT of time outside. Now more of us are all cooped up. The systems are getting more greedy. So many people I know are working so hard for so little. Really, who wants to slave their life away just so they can have a roof over their head and eat? People barely have anything left over after that.
It's a different world now...
I can see your point about how it's okay to talk about depression and anxiety now, that could add to the increase.
I'm pretty thankful I grew up before internet, I could have potentially used it for good to learn skills and find new hobbies and stuff but I think I was better off just being an innocent kid 🙂 on tv we had three channels and if it was nice outside we were not even allowed in the house, thanks mom!
