“diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)”

Well, right around this time a bunch of states legalized marijuana too, with many doctors offering these specific diagnoses to anyone who wanted a medical marijuana card.

I believe it, young people are a mess, a good chunk of them don’t even know if they are a boy or girl anymore.

Liberals have destroyed an entire generation of kids.

Social media and Rat values will do that to you every time.

I have Gen Z kids. Every single one of their friends is on ADHD medication. Adderall, Vyvanse, etc. Every one. It’s a lot higher than 42%. There is literally an Adderall “shortage” right now.

In September 2022, Harmony Healthcare IT surveyed 1,055 Gen Z adults to ask them about their mental health. 47% were men, 45% women, 6% nonbinary, and 2% transgender. Respondents ranged in age from 18 to 24 with an average age of 22.

I don't accept as Truth, the extrapolation of self-reported results of enough people to fill a club, upon zillions of Gen Zers.

I am going to call this “implanted conditions”, in the same vein as implanted memories. Totally manufactured by public schools and the mental health industry.

I am sad = mental health issue.

I am bored = mental health issue.

I am broke = mental health issue

I am lonely = mental health issue

I am tired = mental health issue

I am ordinary = mental health issue

Millenials and Gen Z have taken every normal aspect of the “down” side of the up and downs of life, and turned it into a medical condition requiring counseling, therapy, drugs, or other treatment.

Snowflakes gotta melt.

It could be that most Gen Z will submit themselves to be studied, diagnosed and prescribed medication for what older generations see as the general stresses of adult living.
If you look close enough at anyone’s character, you will see imperfections. Not every ‘imperfection’ needs to be medicated or given some kind of therapy. Sometimes, what you see is what you are supposed to get, according to that person’s nature.

What kind of legal psyche meds were they fed in k-12. Ritalin and so on? These are not good long term. Then all the marijuana smoking is not good for young brains that are still forming.

Just as an aside, ADHD is not a mental illness, though it can lead to anxiety and depression, etc. I'm sure it is over-diagnosed, but some kids actually struggle with this brain condition and can benefit from medication or other treatment.

Others are fine and their parents just don't want to parent.

Those who are not believers are lost and walking in spiritual darkness which leads to all kinds of issues, in addition to all the other issues mentioned ( adhd meds, marijuana, etc), social media induced issues…plus SO many from broken families, parents with “live in” boyfriends/girlfriends which is traumatic for kids in itself.

My local Community College reports 58% of its students have ‘food insecurity’, and then beg for food and money for their Food Pantry.

I wonder how the sports coaches can function with athletes with food insecurity. Most sports coaches make sure their athletes eat very well.

So besides mental problems, they are starving.
