This makes me wonder, what if there's actually a narcissism crisis disguised as a mental health crisis?

  There are those who think the USA in particular has a narcissism crisis (and some data to back it up). https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2017/06/28/a-rise-in-narcissism-a-root-of-americas-crisis/ https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2017/06/28/a-rise-in-narci... I would say that from the outside, it's really very clear that America has become more narcissistic over the last 35-40 years, but I think there's also evidence of a reckoning -- of a younger culture beginning to mix more self-effacement in with their self-expression. I'd place the UK slightly lower on the scale of worsening narcissism, but I am sure other countries would observe it in us. Gen Z would seem to be getting tired of the whining over here, too.

    Prior to the 2016 US election I heard with complete denial that the presidency is a reflection of the sum of our culture. I was wrong.
