people pay attention to you if you're suffering from something

Raised by single mothers and not allowed to play outside.

Cultural marxism

Alot of them are fakeing it to make themselves feel special, but there is definitely an increase and i blame identity politics

good times create weak people, weak people create bad times

too much information to keep up with

A lot are just trying to get attention but for the ones that are real I blame identity politics.

Domestication, wageslavery, debt to pointless education degrees, identity politics, urbanisation, surveillance/technology culture, not having families, and still living with flatmates/parents.

They are told that they are depressed. They are told that they have ADHD. All so that the pharma-Jew can sell drugs and keep the western world sedated.

It's easier to surrender and be a victim. But also pathetic.

Pretty much this, OP. You create the proper conditions for x, and x will thrive.

This sums it up

Because you're all a bunch of weak faggots.

Because our culture is perverse and degenerate.

Lots of people are discontent with modern American/western society and their grievances are legitimate. Since these people don’t see any way to change their situation, nor do they even see the cause of their depression, they’re like putty in the hands of psychiatrists eager to distribute medication.

>still living with flatmates/parents
wasn't it normal to live in the same home as your extended family up until like the late 50s?

The digital world, where the only """friends""" people have are on Kikebook and Twatter, is still very lonely.

>people pay attention to you if you're suffering from something

The hippy user has the right of it

It's a pointless spiral into hell where the only worth to you is in your sheckles and you have to stab people in the back, which is also counter to human nature as we are a community based animal.

You make what is ultimately a pointless, self serving system with no purpose, fuck with thousands of years of tradition and make everything Identity politics while taking away and true foundations to mark passage and to advance as a human being than as a worker drone.

Of course people are fucked up, we aren't Golems for the most.

When you're blue pilled and the world still doesn't make sense, you get the blues...

While funny, this meme ignores the reality that depression usually creates these conditions, not the other way around.

Same reason so very many of them are selling themselves sexually, boys transforming into parodies of girls and the like.
School still pretends society is like 1960/1970 where you embark on a career path and can paln your life accordingly. This is now wishful thinking, it dried up in the mid-90s. GenX took a step down in affluence and security yet could still build a relatively stable life. This new wave of kids is fucked beyond belief in terms of planning even five years ahead economically. Very few people are entrepreneurs with the ability to navigate a dancing landscape, so they fall into despair instead when things change yet again in as short as eighteen months.

I have no idea what the solution is beyond crazy "join the navy" ideas that surely aren't applicable to a majority. Not reverse outsourcing employment might help, of course; suddenly having to compete with sixteen million foreigners for factory work probably doesn't help at all.

weed is actually one of the best anti depressants out there (if consumed in moderation along with a healthy diet & exercise)

If your in public you dont have anxiety or depression.

sounds about right, seriously lifting, and outdoor activties alone will make you feel 20x better

Fucking social engineering, man. We've seen some shit.

cuz life sucks

Weed actually performs terribly as an anti-depressant due to its rebound effect.

The internet is literally tearing society apart.

Because America has an insane obsession with (((therapy))) and it has become totally normalised for people to see a therapist and be diagnosed with "anxiety" or "depression" so they keep coming back

terrorist organizations such as the one posted allow any fool to be armed to the teeth, which causes anxiety about wondering if one of these nut jobs is going to kill you

meanwhile the terrorist organization just cries for more guns, buys more political power, so everyday people get nervous and their kids see this

it might be alot of factors but most importantly lack of accomplishment just by going to college doesn't mean you did anything

Good times create weak men.

Main fault lies in actions done by leaders of past generations, mainly Boomers and GenX that brought the current situation we are in today.
Not tearing, Transforming it into something new, for better or for worse.

we have lost our humanity.
with our multi cultural societies we no longer engage with one another. when was the last time you saw a block party. when i was young they happened every summer. now we live in a time without great artists, thinkers, without anything great that inspires the human spirit. the only thing to be considered great is novelty and distraction. we exist in a wasteland known as modern society.

I started watching cuckold porn and that made me depressed.

I thought just stopping to watch it would help. But everywhere in society, I see nigger guy + white girl imagery pushed upon me, thru Social media, Movies, Music lyrics, Celebrities, Reality TV, Advertisements etc.

Humans are meant to live in tribes. Modern humans live solemn, lonely existences that amount to nothing despite society telling them they're succeeding.

Take a fucking guess why people are depressed.

[spoiler]burden of knowledge and knowing that all of this is for nothing when you're just going to die one day[/spoiler]

Still very much is with immigrant families. Americans hate their parents and can't wait to get rid of them

it's our foods, lifestyle and polluted society that's the main cause. i think even not breastfeeding
babies could be a cause and being an unhealthy carrier. i was diagnosed with "clinical" depression
and it's mental hell for about 10 years now. my mother and father were druggies and alcoholics and
i was raised on baby formula, i think your brain cant get all the right stuff from that shit too.

there's two types of depression: one where someone is feeling down due to circumstances/lifestyle,
which can be fixed and the other is when their brain is actually fucked and one has to battle it through life.

people get mixed and confused between and think it's all the same but it's not.

Shit, if you want to talk about whites in particular? Whites evolved in locations where it's constantly dark and dingy and fucking horrible. The only thing they had through the ages was other people. The only thing they had to give them any meaning was society and civilization. Now they don't even have that for the most part. The stress cracks have been showing for generations and everyone laughed. And now shit's just shaking apart.

Dumbest thing I've read today and its not even noon

How about inherenting dead beat dad's genetics for narcissistic sociopathy ?

these.

Even more reason to blame the mom for selecting him as a mate

Many have given good answers here.
In addition to them I will add "a lack of a higher vision or cause".
I'd love it if we could go out and be space colonists somewhere, anywhere, even if it sucked and I'd be dead in 10 years. Just push that frontier.

Hell I'd accept dying in the first week if it meant some vital lesson valuable to all that came after was learned.

I understand the whole "my kid needs his own room and crib from birth" is a uniquely western "muh independence" thing as well.

boomers anally raped the economy for their own benefit then elected mango mussolini as president just to "trigger the libruls"

My entire friend group has "anxiety" or "depression". My friend, his gf, my friends brother....he has it so bad he never leaves the house. All of them do. I've felt a strange faint ache in my chest for years since I was 16 or so. I'm not fat and I don't eat fast food or anything. I think everyone is depressed cause they are shitters with no future but that doesn't mean you "have depression". I cringe whenever they walk about it.

Other way around.

(((They))) are telling parents to boot their kids out at 18 so the kids can go into debt and be wage slaves.

>do it, goy. Don't you want to dump the kids and spend your money on traveling?

>Crippling debt
>Unaffordable housing
>Stagnant wages
>Poor job prospects

Gee I wonder why they would be nervous about the future.

>I'd love it if we could go out and be space colonists somewhere, anywhere, even if it sucked and I'd be dead in 10 years. Just push that frontier.

lol you are so full of shit.

Why, it would be amazing.

>teach children that there are centuries of guilt they are responsible for
>tell them the world is dying
>elevate random niggers and jewish children despite their being completely incompetent and utterly lazy
>teach useless abstractions that create more confusion and less clarity
>single out those that fight against the stupidity as 'racists'
>even if the nonconformists are bluepilled faggots who aren't racist at all, call them racists anyway
>encourage prohibited drugs like marijuana and ampehatimine, discourage tobacco and alcohol
>shield students from their parents, don't let parents know what is going on with their children
>particularly weak students will approach counseling, give them heavy prescriptions and reprogram them to be social justice warriors
>do nothing to protect them from the random explosions of violence/ use the victims as scapegoats
>program all that attend to accept logical fallacies over hard evidence
>exhaust their financial reserves and leave them too confused and drained to start over
College/University. The problem is College.

Its fascinating how despite all of the thinking and contemplating that goes on trying to explain the issue, its always the wisdom thats been around for thousands of years which is bang on correct.

because they care about what the jew masters and their slaves (a.k.a. consumerist society) thinks of them

You've got a point there.

Because adults treat them like a bunch of retards and try to shelter them from every single slightly negative thing in life...

Majority of people are white men
Proceed to shit on them and literally blame everything on them
Deny them the ability to get help
Attach a stigma to getting help

Fun fact: NPR covered this story, but made it out to be a problem with black men not being able to get help

>death is actually one of the best anti depressants out there
Are you encouraging people to an-hero to escape life?

Ive got avoidant personality disorder so i feel pretty justified in taking my ssri. I barely take my lorazepam once a week. Maybe less. I never did any drugs recreationally never drink never smoked.

Ask anything you want about anxiety problems. I will answer.

Now fast-forward 50 years and we are living in totally alien conditions our nervous systems just have not evolved to handle. We are no longer known by anyone and have no identities, which explains the cult of celebrity and its even sicker cousin social media. Sad shit.

Modern childhood is so amazing that nothing will ever compare and requires great success to even get close to that again.

Because they've had smoke blown up their ass about how special and deserving they are their whole lives. Only issue is all that smoke up their ass doesn't line up with reality.

>be college student
>have (((anxiety)))
>get shit like time and a half on exams enforced by Disability Services
Some students try to use it as an excuse as to why they can't even attend classes to begin with in anything approaching a regular basis.

Because me popping Xanax to solve my problems is cheaper and easier than therapy

Young people were also overmedicated or warehoused if they were slightly different. They were also very easily ostracized from peers. It shows the system wanted to suppress differences not embrace them. You don't understand the difference between lip service and reality for people with conditions like autism or ADHD or schizoid.

It's not a father's choice, don't you know anything about alimony you meme-flag roastie

I have bipolar 2 disorder, my father had it his mom had it and probably her father had it. It is not subjective I objectively have an illness. It fucked me over hard. With that said despite having periods of serious depression and emphasizing with people who GENUINELY do suffer from depression.

Alot of people are just fucking pussies and need to man the fuck up. Life is a bitch and its not easy for anyone( maybe a very small number). Some people are fucked they can never participate in society and need to be looked after that is very minimal in terms of those claiming to be depressed. I think the word depression has lost its meaning and is used to casually. I've been suicidal to the point of being 1 or 2 hours away from committing it before an intervention that stopped me.


But the world is a depressing place as people have said cultural Marxism,economic outlook, degeneracy, Godlessness and lack of identity. It is a depressing time to be in the west. But get the fuck over it what ever cards you've been dealt and don't be a pussy.

attention whores
It's now trendy to say that you have "anxiety" or you are "depressed"

People who were different were told they were special but they were also told they had no future. Their families were told all the things they would never do and were written off as hopeless cases. People with disorders like semantic pragmatic disorder or ASD disorders or learning disabilities especially. The teachers said they were problem children.

Leftism is a mental illness

could you imagine characterizing depression as a problem of tens of millions of people going through their days plagued with thoughts of
>I'm nervous
>NERVOUS ABOUT GUNS
really?
you're certain it's not, say, a combination of the economic, bureaucratic and cultural factors that affect scores more people on the daily?

This 100%
My friend one of the only friends i've maintained were talking about the irony of how social media/ online dating has been created by super fucking autistic people

You are an absolute retard. Kys

My guess is tech. It offers many incomplete solutions for problems (needs) humans have been facing since the beginning of humanity. Take short-term solutions, face long-term problems.

>from anxiety and depression these days?
too much time sitting, not enough exercises.

There has been tonnes of research on the matter and almost all conclude it's due to large use of technology and social media. It's amazing, social media was made to try and connect people - but it does the complete opposite. I know this from personal experience as when my cousin stopped using social media her depression started to dilute after a couple of months.

Social media is for normies. They have the herd hivemind.

Part of it is social media. Everyone is more in eachothers shit than ever but have less real and meaningful interpersonal interaction. Also a very insular education system that shelters children and doesn't allow for learning by experience coupled with less highschool kids getting jobs and learning self-reliance. A lot of the jobs they do get are giant corporate monoliths like McDonalds that are insular and sheltered in their own right.

Everyone want to upload their brain into the internet for escapism in the far future, thus The Matrix will literally become real.

is that some pussy I smell?

Humans haven't changed physically in a hundred thousand years. It's the exact same brains reacting to the exact same inputs.

It's also why people are becoming hikikomori. They don't want the drama of personal friendships if they aren't going to be close.

This. Social media is a competitive esport at this point.

Nope.

A college education may mean you have no job and no money and a college education is very stressful.

A lack of individuality and the rise of group identity leads to people not only bearing the pressure of their own lives but also the lives of other people. This can also lead to disassociation from ones own self and a lack of knowledge as to who one really is. We've become a codependent society.

>Children of foreigners born in Finland do not automatically receive Finnish citizenship
I do question, however, how they can be so happy when they have such racist, fascist policies. Surely this keeps them up at night?

Animals don't breed well in captivity.

why are so many young people suffering from anxiety and depression these days?

the world is a panopticon.

Its the same in Ireland too. We got rid of the right of children born here to automatic citizenship. Keeps the Amerimutts and niggers out.
