I wonder how much is generalized anxiety....
The data show disturbing increases...33% over 10 years is nasty if this were to be a trend.
Could it be also that our philosophy of life is changing and people are feeling less optimism or as we age, we are more prone to helpless feelings?
I teach seniors a lot and a few have said they have no reason to get up in the morning. Could it be that aging needs support, that the psychology of aging is such that increasing helplessness and poverty contribute?
But the alarming increase in kids....is this a trend or unmasking what was there?
