My wife knows a family/marriage therapist. Essentially what we call a "shirnk".
Anyways, she said for years her primary work for was marriage counselling and depression in adults.
Now she has said in the last 2 years her primary clients are KIDS under the age of 18 with "anxiety and depress".. She openly told my wife that nearly every single one of these kids who she is seeing for anxiety and depression actually have no anxiety or depression. She said most have no clue what anxiety and depression actually is or even the symptoms. She can't figure out the root cause of why all these kids are thinking they are depressed or have anxiety..
In my opion, society/schools/parents are spoon feeding these kids to think that everyone has mental health issues.
Then she said since the whole gender thing is now the new "buzz word", her amount of clients under the age of 18 also includes all these kids who think they are not a boy or a girl. She said she regulary sees kids under the age of 14 who see her because they think they are depressed/anxiety because they don't identify as the gender on their birth certificate. She said she just can't understand all this bs non sense and why society is pushing this shit on kids so much.
I kid you not, its crazy how many kids I know under 14 who are on anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. I 100% acknowledge that mediciations are useful tool and are a life saver for some people, kids included, but it just seems like this massive problem that has snowballed to the point where every kids is questioning their own mental health and gender and are trained to "look" for somethign wrong with them and run with it.
In school aged kids it used to be cool to
-play sports
-stick up for yourself
-laugh at other kids when they did stupid shit
-do good at school
-make fun of each other
-learn not to cry and be a whiny bitch
-learn to deal with your problems without running to an adult
-keep your struggles private except to your closest friend or adult in your life
Now in school aged kids, its literally cool to
-be LGBT
-have mental health issues
-tell the world all your sturggles
-be seeing a mental health professional
-be taking meds
-be depressed
-struggle with ansixety
-cry and make sure the whole world knows your crying
-be completely unable to function due to your mental health
In schools, if a student has a label or identifies as having anxiety, depression, LGBT issues they are sincerily untouchable.. Can't even give them a exam in math.. Wouldn't want to push them over the edge.
What an awful time we live in...
I am happy we are more educated in mental health and accepting of it, but man what the fuck did this turn into
