I think this is exactly it. And I personally think this and the general decline in mental resilience we see in society is strongly correlated with decline in religion which (for better or for worse, depending on the religion I suppose) does provide exactly such a framework for dealing with the challenges of life with a more "eternal" perspective (i.e. death is not the end, life's challenges are temporary, God has a plan for you, etc).

Or how about Japan until recently? Or any of the ex-Soviet countries. Something is changing in the world, and it is happening across geographic and cultural boundaries.
