Caveat: I'm not a medical professional. But it's something I've spent tons of time wondering about myself. Personally, I think isolation is what kicked it off widespread. Humans are social creatures, always have been. And now we go to work, come home to our AC, watch TV alone or at best with a family member. And many of us don't even get the social interaction of work anymore. Add to that the stress of work. Then the stress of politics, then the stress of social media, and now, lockdowns and doom/gloom news. It's no wonder people are at wits end. Isolation is what media and tech companies want, as it means you'll spend more time 'engaging.' Keep checking your feed while watching the 24h news cycle. And in doing so further alienating people from one another. I have no idea how this is resolved, but it certainly doesn't seem sustainable.
