Since Mr. Haidt reports from the US statistics of the CDC:
1. could it be reasonable then to suggest the prevalence of mental illness in teens is evidence of more cogent detection systems coming online?
2. Could it also be reasonable to consider this detection to be in response to the epidemic of mass shootings in schools?
