More US youth have serious mental health issues than during Depression
- sophacles 17y agoIsn't this an apples/oranges thing? Can we really compare mental illness as defined/understood today with the 1930's? Back then psychology was in its infancy. Wouldn't it make more sense that back then they just didn't know as much, therefore didn't attach defects to kids as readily? tl;dr -- this reeks of sensationalism and junk science.
- gruseom 17y agoArticle says, "there are more young people who report anxiety and depression". Headline says, "More of today's US youth have serious mental health issues". (Emphases added.) Talk about a non sequitur.
