While ssri and other psychotropic drugs are a factor, the problem goes back one more level. The family.
Broken family, single parent, no dad that is engaged; these are the factors that produce most of the reasons that the drugs are used in the first place.
Kids need engaged fathers, not drugs or gun control laws.
All of this is laid at the feet of the materialist/relativist/pagan-atheist worldview forced on our kids by “progressives”. They have insisted that the the government replace the intact nuclear family.
Nothing will change for the better until people repent and recommit to God’s design for the family.
Just look at the fruit of the past 120 years of secular progressive society; misery added to misery and decline in every metric of mental health.
Democrats own all of it.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Fatherless households lead to unruly and anxious children. Mothers seek pharmaceutical help in that difficult situation to treat disorders that would not have arisen without half of the parenting team missing.
Dan Quayle was so right in criticizing "Murphy Brown" decades ago. We have reaped the whirlwind.
