Why are young people suffering from depression and anxiety at alarming rates?

Some of it's over-diagnosis, some of it is hypersensitivity if they've been coddled and promised the world, but for others it's because reality is shit, and they're worried that they need to work even harder in order to live a decent life. If they don't get into that right college studying the right major, they won't be able to get that internship in order to gain enough experience to get that job out of undergrad that allows them to scamper up the career ladder as fast as possible to avoid the riding tide of unemployment and cost of living increases.

Didn't play outside enough as kids. Were cuddled too much by weak parents in a generation that had fewer kids, later in life. These kids can't deal with stresses of being alone or removed from their phones, always appealing to a higher power to solve their problems.

They're still children.

Because white people are weak and fragile as fuck.

they aren't. they're just trying to come up with a victim card since being a victim is trendy these days. as someone with legitimate depression and anxiety who has worked really hard to overcome it, fakers like this make me violently angry

nihilism
the cure is jesus

>debt slaves get pushed even further into a corner
>lol why are you sad

I wish depression was just a meme, but I really want to sleep forever. Just close my eyes and never wake up.

Get off Jow Forums, stop using electronics except for work, eat clean, lift weights, spend your free time outdoors.

Oh, forgot one thing. It's obviously hard to just change all your habits, so sit down and make a list of all your vices. Then order them from worst to least harmful. Start eliminating them one at a time, and eventually, you will be so bored that your brain will be screaming at you for stimulation, like someone who's been wondering the desert with no water. Feed it with weightlifting, cooking healthy, exercise, and /out/.

They have nothing and nobody to come home to. All of their work is for nothing. They have no purpose to suffer through life

If you go on twitter just about every person under 30 just complains about depression and anxiety. And they talk about it in such a way that its like they think its cool or something. We live in weird times, even if i was depressed i wouldnt talk about it so openly and certainly wouldnt tell strangers. The fuck is wrong w ppl?

They're not

it's mass hysteria of normal thoughts, not actual depression/anxiety, It's just trendy

It's all a result of the increasing isolation from genuine human contact young people have adopted. Of course staring at your phone all day and watching the fictional lives of your "friends", while creating your own fictional self, will result in anxiety and depression.
It's why you see happy third-world families who basically live in poverty. Strong family units that live close to each other for generations and share lots of time working together and enjoying recreation together make for happier people.

Parasitic worms and protozoa from the third world. Also demonic oppression.

Because the world today fucking sucks

Feminism and communism ruins everything. When everything should be free then there’s no happiness in obtaining it

>Why are young people suffering from depression and anxiety at alarming rates?
They want an excuse for being a fucking losers, quacks will give them bullshit diagnoses and "antidepressants" that cause suicide (i guess they cause depression, which is just what the doctor ordered).

pretty much this + constant exposure to these faggots due to social media oversaturation

I already do those. I don't see a point in living anymore, it's a lot of pain and tiny pleasures. I'm still alive because of a promise.

>They have nothing and nobody to come home to
Life sucks when you're too lazy to get out of your own way...that's why sloth is a deadly sin...

because life is fucked

You're still spending your free time on Jow Forums. You clearly one of those people who need to stay away from places like this.

Young White people are depressed and have anxiety because they subconsciously know they've been betrayed and propagandized into hating their own tribe.

How awful this must be for them.

Don't you think their sheltered lifestyle contributes to this? Kids in college now got coddled more than millenials did. These students haven't matured enough to handle the stresses of the real world and so cry disorder. It's not a disorder, they are just mentally weak.

Weak. Get some hobbies, fuck boy. Grow a garden, go winter camping, do things that makes you happy

Coming home implies that they are working and going out. People aren't bonding like they used to.

>Why are young people suffering from depression and anxiety at alarming rates?
Because they visit Jow Forums

This. Modern life is rooted in isolation, and most jobs don't fulfill the human need to feel useful. You work and work and don't feel that you've made anything or helped anyone. Your contact with friends and family is reduced to short text messages. People don't even talk on the phone any more, much less meet face to face without also constantly checking your stupid phone.

Wahhhh!!!

that contributed, for sure

Social media makes walking out your door potentially dangerous let alone doing anything (expressing an opinion, looking at someone the wrong way, let alone dating or even actually doing something in the world like activism or politics). Life is like being inside a goldfish bowl all the time. Anything you say and do can potentially ruin your life

Unironically best to stay inside jerking off to porn and playing video games.

>>Coming home implies that they are working and going out
Obviously coming home means you went out, but working? I highly doubt it...

I got rid of my smartphone and now use a based flip phone.

I've found the solution. This also solves the over-population meme.

Are you an MLG Korean player?

Kim knows what’s up

I still have a smartphone, but mainly because I have a very poor sense of direction and need to use the GPS function. I have zero social media presence, aside from one fake twitter account I use maybe twice a month to shitpost.

real answer: social media is not an adequate psychological substitute for real friendship/human interaction

I feel like I’m living in a hallow world full of fake smile that desperately want me to fake a smile with them

I have to listen to music while I work or I’m falling asleep

America has maybe one generation left before society collapses.

Welcome to modern polite society. It's cloak and daggers while wearing smiles.

I wish I could live in a slice of life anime

Well butter my bottom I'm going to get me some neet buxs.

Too much Internet. Not enough traditional social interactions

I got an MP3 player and loaded it up with classical music. Trust me, getting rid of that demonic fucking thing was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Check out some non Apple, non Android mp3 players and experience the freedom.

Modern technology has fucked up all our dopaminergic systems

Because (((they))) took our future.

Why are imaginary diseases being invented?
Why are we classifying specific people who have no disease with a disease?

Why is there a constant bombardment of anti-white propaganda?

Why is there constant bombardment of pro-black, pro-multiculturalism propaganda?

Self-diagnosis over inane, trivial bullshit for people who have no actual hardship to overcome, or overly emotional faggots attention fishing.

I like that pic.

Public education, addiction to caffeine and sugar, enslaved to social media.
Now you know what to help your children avoid.

The jews lowered the testosterone levels so the men can't be men and women can't be happy without real men.

Wat

>addiction to caffeine
Care to elaborate? I'm not aware of the mental side effects of using too much caffeine.

>They want an excuse for being a fucking losers, its not that I'm projecting myself and feel ashamed of wanting to die

This. In the 90's kids with depression just listened to Nirvana

Simple.
Young people have been brainwashed into hating themselves and rejecting their nation, countrymen, history and culture.
They're stuck for years at a university that teaches them very little of any real use and they're only there because a degree is now a requirement to get your foot in the door of the private job sector. The same university constantly browbeats students with ridiculous post-modernist theory that puts their minds in a constant state of confusion. People simply go insane without a tribe or nation to identify with. They have nothing to live for, the relativistic mess that they think surrounds them crushes their spirit.
People used to work for their family and their tribe. Now we work to pay for Brown people to live comfortably in the place our ancestors created.
We are in an age of schizophrenic internationalism.

Overstimulation

Look how many shill posters are in this thread saying basically "NUH UH DEPRESSED PEOPLE R JUST FAGGOTS LOL JUST PULL URSELF UP BY UR BOOTSTRAPS GOY XD"

>Utah has the highest rate of anti depressent use

Wow almost like mind control has secondary effects. Brainwash entire generations of kids. WTF COULD GO WRONG!!!!

Gate.

It’s not the caffeine itself, but how it affects a child in school. They can barely wake themselves out of bed after staying up late. If they are a coffee drinker, the crash hits them in their first class of the day and drags on until lunchtime at least. Their grades and personality will suffer and then the stress that comes with failing grades.

This was going to write it

People shouldn't be cramming shit into their head or applying things learned for 6-18 or so (depending on what year of school you're in) collective hours in a 24 hour period. People need free time and days of rest, with deadlines adjusted to compensate for those things. Compare workforce depression (and I mean non-meme jobs where people make actually reasonable money for reasonable work, like engineers or cs shit) to these stats

Utah is almost utopia. The only things wrong with it are nonwhites and non-Mormons.

Not true.

Pornography use

Most cases of depression and anxiety are very loosely diagnosed and mostly bullshit, whether intentionally or not, even in adults.
I can't say i'm surprised young people are feeling alienated and anxious though, look at the current climate. Would you want to be in highschool during all this mess?

Chile?

These.

Faggot you clearly finished some mundane shit in school. In the US, computer science, accounting, and nursing are just 3 examples of 100k/year jobs (with enough experience and the right location if course). Keep being a leaf faggot

>"depression" and "anxiety"
Kids think feeling a bit sad or being nervous for a big speech makes them mentally ill. Real anxiety is being afraid to leave the house, apply for jobs, or even talk to people online. Real anxiety is wanting to leave a cage, but you locked yourself in. Real anxiety is pure hell on earth that makes you want to commit suicide every day. Real anxiety is being too afraid of your therapist judging you, so you pretend everything is fine.

More people need to seriously consider psilocybin

oh fuck

Fuck off, druggie degenerate. My sister did shrooms and went into a paranoid delusion for months. She only recently snapped out of it, but she used to stand at the windows for hours watching for people coming to get her. It's fucked up what people are pushing as "good for you" today.

Hey now, that's anti-Semitic!
