> post 2010 rise in inflammation
You're assuming that depression and other mental illnesses only started in 2010, which is theoretically possible, but not an established fact.
We've actually seen a drastic rise in most mental illnesses diagnosed going back at least 50 years. There is a hypothesis that it's diagnosis, but again, merely a hypothesis.
Some of the cases which clearly aren't "diagnosis" (e.g. nearsightedness) we have no explanation for.
