Why are so many diagnosed with anxiety/depression?

It seems that almost everyone I know is either self-diagnosed with anxiety/ depression or are actually diagnosed. Is the world just fucked up now? Or are (((they))) just over diagnosing mental illness?

>self diagnosed

Spotted the problem.

Genuinely satisfied people wouldn't self diagnose with mental illnesses user.

I'm actually diagnosed. I know it's just a spook but knowledge doesn't negate the fearfulness. Neither does empiricism or logic.

People "Care" too much on demanding respect rather then thinking about their own survival and earning respect.

Exactly what in the fuck is going on in the world right now that makes you calm and relaxed?

Diagnosed with what?
>Are you on meds?

Severe OCD

Not right now

Maybe it's partly that the internet has made it almost impossible to run away from a poor reputation.

Someone post the mice in the land of plenty experiment, Calhoun or something. That's why.

I feel like along with the internet and smartphones, there has been a sort of paradigm shift in things. Idk how to describe it, but it feels like a timeline change

hey you made a new thread for me to shit all over again

Is this the experiment where mice had basically everything they needed and stopped reproducing? And they eventually died off or something

Be nice user.

People were meant to function in small clans where most people were special in some way. It doesn't translate well from a mental health perspective to being one in billions of people

The cure is honestly just being more humble and patient while trying to find positive things

Genuinely dissatisfied already only exist as corpses. The problem is we've tried to stop them from offing themselves, so now they're just miserable burdens on society lmao

dat of the rope came early this year ayyyyyy

Pretty much. With everything they needed freely available to them they lost their purpose in life and just gave up en masse. The whole point of life is the struggle.

Depression is not a real illness.
Basically what happens is ...
Capitalism screws the youth by exporting all good jobs, and spamming degenerate propaganda on TV 24/7 people see no future, lock themselves in houses, don't see a point to existence as their traditions and cultures are being demolished
They have the APPROPRIATE RESPONSE to what is happening
Jewish Dr. Moshe Schlomo Freudsteinberg comes and tells people what they're feeling is a "disease" and needs to be medicated.

Don't fall for the jew pill meme.

You sure the key isn't mass genocide?

Bump

>capitalism
stopped reading lmao
that keyboard you typed up your red little postit on was made by capitalism.

What the fuck is going on in this video? Is the negressconsenting to it or what

I don't know what's causing it but it is nuts, everyone seems really off.

Sometimes I wonder if it really is about stuff that they're feeding us, medicine their giving us, you know?

I thought I was depressed in high school, now I think I was just a lonely moron but in my early twenties I feel actually depressed. Maybe life just gets shittier and it's still the same thing. I've had anxiety my whole life, I have a problem with pulling out my eyebrows which is apparently an anxiety disorder.

ITT ugly losers who can't get or keep a gf

>Depression is not a real illness
It is. Depressed people's brains look different. It's also theorized a lot of depressions not related to having a shitty life situation but to other causes like viruses, malnutrition etc,,

Democracy was a mistake. Political awareness was a mistake. The Socialist/Capitalist dichotomy of Materialism was a mistake. The internet was a mistake. The sexual revolution was a mistake. Feminism was a mistake.

Pretty much everything the modern world is proud about is what is causing the undoing of the human being. Inhibitions have been destroys, calls to live a moral life even for yourself are met with intense opposition. Instant gratification has ruined us and has eroded the innate human desire to create and be industrious. People are consumers rather than creators, and have been told that this is good. They do not know how to create, to build. They cannot build love from nothing, and relationships never blossom into anything. Families are never created, even if offspring are made.

Those who know what the problem is are, likewise, seduced by the problems. Sin is a corrosive thing - and even knowledge of it cannot save you from it. We don't know how to fix these problems, where to begin, or even what the problems are in many cases.

It was made in China which is lead by a Communist Party.

"Capitalism" is a system you brainwashed retard, it doesn't create anything by itself.

I'm not ugly and loser is a baseless insult peddled by low IQ retards that think their buzzword means shit. And I have a girlfriend.

I love this video.

It pretty much sums up manlets struggling to even get some gross sheboon.

It must suck to be shorter than 6'.

>It is. Depressed people's brains look different.
So?
When you're in love, your brains look different than when you're bored.
It doesn't prove anything.
Stop believing everything they tell you.

Of course altered psychological states are reflected in the neurological but it means nothing

its hip to be a victim now

Nice abhorrent post, leaf.

When a business does it to you, it's capitalism's fault. When the government does it to you, it's socialism's fault. Capitalism and socialism are both a web of lies spun from the same Jewish thread of materialism.

no, she was trying to be nice until he got grabby

We have created a generation that is without God, Family, and Nation. No identity, no community. The malleable minds of the young generations have been indoctrinated and subverted to believe false things.

Once you start believing falsity, you necesarily start acting and behaving in a way that is out of accord with reality. Think of it - an entire life of acting not out of who you are, no wonder these people suffer.

Now, accompany that with the environmental conditions of poor diet (processed foods and high animal fat), negative work environments, a shitty education system, non stop TV and ads.

It is the perfect environment to dehumanise these people

Human beings are animals. We have chosen to disregard the very things that nature and evolution gave us.

Instead we make mockeries of ourselves, stimulating our senses artificially, within huge non cohesive any colonies.

While we are social creatures, over stimulation and complete disregard for our animal instincts have resulted in many of today's problems.

Because they can.
If system tries to fuck you, you should fuck her first.

where might one find videos like this on the net

>Depressed people's brains look different.
How do you know you're not putting the cart before the horse?

What if it is a spiritual problem that causes the brain to look different and, in turn, the body to act different?

In other sciences, we are told to not settle on anything but the most convincing and complete evidence. Things are not agreed upon until they are 100% settled. However, with psychology, this is not the case. We are merely told to accept the simplest explanation. This is not science. It is pseudoscience.

God knows why.
Personally had severe anxiety since around 16-18 years old. Today I'm 30, and it all just....faded away.

>Capitalism screws the youth by exporting all good jobs, and spamming degenerate propaganda on TV 24/7 people see no future, lock themselves in houses, don't see a point to existence as their traditions and cultures are being demolished
>They have the APPROPRIATE RESPONSE to what is happening

that's pretty much how I feel... we took the vinegar route instead of fine wine :(

Is this how clubs would look if they were properly lit?

OP here. This is an interesting concept. It's as if our brains haven't evolved fast enough to adapt to our current environment. Or something like that

((depression))

hmm

This. People have just been one upping each other for attention once they realize how many "likes" "upvotes" and "shares you get from crying like a little bit about everything. Being gay is brave? What about if im bi? Oh? Well what if im gender fluid?

Oh well im animal doctor suess cock in my mouth snowflake kin


See what im sayin? Then they start to beleive it and make an identity about it

Mental illness is extremely common, and pretty much anybody who grew up with a single parent, abusive parents, neglectful parents, in poverty, near crime, etc, will grow up with them.

If you know anything about women, she was playing hard but enjoying the attention. The guy was too desperate though.

>We have created a generation that is without God, Family, and Nation. No identity, no community.
This so much. We've been taught that religion is for sophists, that family is ultimately unimportant and dynamic, and that nationalism is for racists.

The truth is people who are physically and or mentally handicapped need to be removed. If you need medication to function, youre not functioning

I mean psychology already answers this pretty well -- humans were not designed (i.e. we didn't evolve) to sit behind a desk/computer all day and do work.

Additionally, people are losing purpose in life. Women are moving away from being mothers/head of the house (I mean in a motherly way). Men are being 'forced' out of providing for the family/working by society telling women they need to be bankers,lawyers, etc. There is this experiment done with men mice or rats that sums this up pretty well. found it actually: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink

>self diagnosed
That's the problem.

i personally have depression where i wanted to kill myself for no real reason and when ive looked at other peoples depression its them being pussies over minor shit

*cripples you in the legs with a sledgehammer*
BACK THE FUCK OFF?!?!?!?!?!

I'm gonna try to get diagnosed so that I can get a medical cannabis card. I'm gonna have to severely exaggerate my condition though.

Trust me, I did not develop severe anxiety for the potential likes that could be had. It's degrading as fuck, especially for a man.

Clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety, currently taking an anti-depressant every day and 3 medications to sleep as well as ADHD medication, AMA.

So they can sell therapists psychiatrists and antidepressants to people.

What's your favorite kind of cheese?

Depends what I'm eating. Probably swiss.

I might be in the same position as you were in your teens. What do you rec to an 18 year old to get out of this debilitating cycle of hell?

>standards

Trump winning.

>Is the world just fucked up now? Or are (((they))) just over diagnosing mental illness?
Who is philosophically closer to self-actualization? Those who are well adjusted in a fucked society?

Nice. I'm all about the huntsman myself.

As a mentally ill fucker, I'll be first to admit that I didnt get past stage 3 in Maslow's heirarchy.

Want to know why men nowdays are becoming more depressed and fucked up?

Jesus christ, that FEEL when your friend gets too drunk at the party and becomes this guy in OP video

so annoying

>It pretty much sums up manlets struggling to even get some gross sheboon.

Can confirm as 5'9, I almost became this guy before I realized it was easiest to get girls by not caring at all

>tfw no gf

depression is both real and a meme
I don't think many people get extremely depressed - it can get so bad that it's physically painful but completely disconnected from your body (the only way i can describe it) and that's when people get suicidal

you assume it's something emotional, and that's what your mind registers it as, but it's not.

90% of fighting depression is making sure you eat and sleep regularly. I'm on antipsychotics that make my dopamine/serotonin somewhat normal, and I eat/sleep like a human, and the worst of my depression is gone, no antidepressants.

I've never been able to stomach blue cheese.

No reason is infinitely less than a little reason so your are infinitely more of a pussy

That's cause you're fucking stupid.

Trump is a fucking lying billionaire con man who lives in his own fucking tower, he doesn't give a shit about you.

...

>I mean psychology already answers this pretty well -- humans were not designed (i.e. we didn't evolve) to sit behind a desk/computer all day and do work.

Fucking this is exactly it

I am a work-from-home programmer and when I go too long without seeing another person(usually around 24 hours) i start to fucking lose my mind, I can actually feel depression setting in

Also keep in mind its not just seeing other people. I think part of it comes from just being confined in my apartment, alone, all the time... as soon as I leave the house and go somewhere it becomes 5000% better

It's not just one thing.

The pill farms over diagnose it constantly, they automatically put you on anxiety/depression meds every time you get a bad diagnosis for example.

People are more aware of it and self-diagnose situational depression for pathological depression.

People have less to live for than ever making motivation harder, which increases situation depression.

I wish I knew.

I know that forcing myself to be productive and do shit which I'm normally too lazy to do works - like working out. Also, letting it "pass through you" instead of fighting it seemed to help.

But I'm no doctor, so dont listen to me.

A close friend of mine died and I was having trouble dealing with it so I decided to give that whole therapy thing a try. When I arrived at the building they had me fill out a survey and I swear I was in the office talking to the doctor for less than 20 minutes and I walked out of there with two different prescriptions for my diagnosis of depression and anxiety. That was enough to clue me in that something this wrong with field of medicine. They are handing out these SSRI's way too carelessly because they can do some very serious damage to your brain. They're not the sort of medicine that you can just stop taking and go back to normal either.

Thankfully I chose to throw them away or else I would probably still be on them years later, and who knows what type of person I would be today. I know one girl that got on them and I eventually just had to cut her out of my life. She became so angry and was always snapping at people.

public groping fetish is a slippery slope, my friend.

Maybe it's the MK ULTRA radio waves penetrating people's skulls and morphing their outlook.

Are you describing yourself?

This webm

What the fuck

I would heal from broken legs. Broken brains dont get better, paralyzed limbs dont grow muscle, nubs dont become limbs. Youre still not a whole person and are broken. I wish your parents could return you and try again

Misclick, meant to reply to qellaJW

The farmer of the middle ages could use the same argument against someone from the 60's that watches tv.

>Or are (((they))) just over diagnosing mental illness?

Wouldn't you like to feel better goy? Here buy some of my pills they'll make you feel better.

Ignore the studies that say they're barely above placebo in effectiveness.

What's that, microdosing psilocybe has actually been shown to improve mood and wellbeing? Something you can grow at home for almost nothing? SHUT IT DOWN SHUT DOWN THE RESEARCH BAN IT JAIL ANYONE ATTEMPTING THIS

Fucking druggies man, don't you hate them? Now about those pills..

>The whole point of life is the struggle.
There is no point of life. That becomes obvious when people are not distracted by struggle.

What crawled up your dick hole, kid?

Most people are in the second.

>self-diagnosed
Unless you are a doctor, you can't self-diagnose.

...

>that's me on the left.
Fuck I don't feel motivated to do shit. Is that a sign of depression?

Remove all profit (including unnamed de facto profit) from anti-deptession meds and then see how many are diagnosed.

Self bump. Someone explain how to climb Maslow's hierarchy,

ROOOOOOOOO

You don't have anxiety unless you have zero friends and are borderline agoraphobic. You are Not depressed unless you don't do anything and don't give a shit if your careless actions kill yourself. I fucking hate normies

So that's why I never fap to the same porn twice unless I cum too fast.
