I think it's far too complex to attribute these results to a particular cause. Almost all of our food packaging and cookware contain new and known bad chemicals which we do not understand the implications of. Social media has gone from nothing to everywhere which has nothing to do with caution and lack of freedom. Cars have become more essential and people are spaced further apart than before. As well as a better understanding of what depression and anxiety are. I suspect its much more likely a child today would be able to express what they are feeling and have it reported in a statistic instead of being told they need to stop being a girl and have a spoon full of cement.
