Personally it's more that there is more awareness today and it's more ok to come forward saying you have a problem. When I grew up in the 70s there were a lot of people with problems but they were just labelled as "stupid" or "difficult". I personally had serious depression and social anxiety but there was nobody to talk to and I wouldn't have known the vocabulary to describe the situation. I know several people who I am pretty sure were gay. One guy was most likely trans. And a ton of people with depression and/or anxiety. My dad and a lot of men his age had PTSD from WW2. None of these went into any statistic.
