Well when you put a stigma on mental health and you cause a lot of misery with your policies this will happen. Add in climate people are more aggressive when they are hot, and financial uncertainty this is a recipe for disaster.
Not to mention no universal healthcare for meds or doctors, and antiquated laws making it legally impossible for parents to help kids once they turn 18. If they have profound mental health disorders or addiction problems, they are fucked.
So many stories of people caring for their child with terrible health problems/addiction, only for them to fall through the cracks once they turn 18 and can’t care for themselves. :(
Oh man. This point hits home. Imagine being desperate enough to commit a crime because you are unable to afford healthcare and inmates have better programs than the general population.

Yeah but that mostly the Baby boomers issue. Explains a lot of what’s wrong with them. We now have forever chemicals and microplastics for rest of us.
At least the MicroPlastics don’t make us dumber like the lead. Just cancer 🤪
