So mental illness rose steeply in girls and not so much in boys since 2012, and more in liberals than conservatives, since 2012 and this is adequately explained by increased reporting requirements?
- jjulius 2y agoI'd also ask a similar question about the stark increase in suicide rates, not just mental health.
- mike_hearn 2y agoThere is no stark increase. It only looks like an increase because the charts Haidt uses are cropped at a low point. Look at longer term data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/187478/death-rate-from-suicide-in-the-us-by-gender-since-1950 https://www.statista.com/statistics/187478/death-rate-from-s... The number of suicides now is little different for men to 1990, and is significantly lower than it was in the 1970s.
