Its interesting that this cites a "mental illness epidemic" but only seems to cover anxiety/depression. I want statistics on ADHD, PTSD, autism, eating disorders, psychosis, and personality disorders too! If there is a major rise in ED (primarily women) it would explain why there are so many hospitalizations, because EDs are deadly.
- p_j_w 4y agoSorry, what is ED in this context?

- notacoward 4y agoEating Disorder, but in general it's more commonly used to mean Executive Dysfunction and (in a different context) Erectile Dysfunction. Bad idea IMO to use it without first-time expansion in such an ambiguous context.
- spiralx 4y agoI assume that would undermine the argument, as ADHD and other disorders are underdiagnosed in girls and women compared to men. And in fact anxiety and depression are most likely underdiagnosed in boys and men, which also helps their argument even more. Both of these make me sceptical of this "epidemic", plus Haidt isn't someone I trust to be impartial or accurate nowadays.
