Depression increasing across the United States
A study by San Diego State University psychology professor Jean M. Twenge shows Americans are more depressed now than they have been in decades.You aren't addressing the cause. It's as simple as that.
Analyzing data from 6.9 million adolescents and adults from all over the country, Twenge found that Americans now report more psychosomatic symptoms of depression, such as trouble sleeping and trouble concentrating, than their counterparts in the 1980s.
"Previous studies found that more people have been treated for depression in recent years, but that could be due to more awareness and less stigma," said Twenge, the author of "Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled -- and More Miserable than Ever Before." "This study shows an increase in symptoms most people don't even know are connected to depression, which suggests adolescents and adults really are suffering more."
This is pretty hilarious though... Puts her in brain-eating territory-
Twenge believes Generation Me would benefit from a heavy dose of realism.Yes, that's predictable. Blame everyone else.
I suggest she investigate some reality based mechanisms herself. Like all those high doses of antibiotics and sugar.
