The usual pattern when a pendulum is out of balance, then released, it will swing past neutral into “are u effin kidding me” range the other direction before it gets moderated.
I think that is part of what’s happening here. I do know that some of the young men I work with on the spiritual side are getting some therapies that damm near sound like voodoo to me, but produce results. The state of treatment for PTSD and other psychological challenges is much more advanced than when I was trying to get my s—t together in the late 80’s. A lot more effective, efficient, and specific these days.
The problem is that the treatment for all these self-induced maladies is drugs. So kids end up on a cocktail of drugs that send them into psychosis when they decide to quit taking them. Then they need more drugs for that. All of this goes on before they leave high school. When they get to college, the parents are screaming for more therapists and all the drugs have to be upped due to the “stress”. Meanwhile, the kids are threatening suicide as if it is like “running away from home by hiding in the garage”. I know the person that fields those calls on campus.
