There probably are multiple issues at play. There probably is a lack of coping skills, but I think both sides of the issue are largely wrong. Just based on my own experience in healthcare. There ARE people who are legitimately mentally ill. But those aren't the people I'm talking about. Much of the world today is designed in a way I don't think our brains and bodies are meant to handle. 24/7/365 global (negative) news, bad food, the medicate everything approach, forcing children into a desk like a 9-5 job, etc.

And then it's practically impossible to actually escape the shit. It's no wonder so many people are so anxious, angry, and depressed. I think the response is totally normal. But I don't think it's natural. We aren't *supposed* to live this way, in my opinion. And I don't think meds will fix it.
Normal but not natural is a pretty good way too put it. I think we're pretty much on the same page.
"Interesting perspective! It's true that our environment plays a huge role in our mental well-being. Maybe instead of focusing on who's 'right' or 'wrong,' we could explore how to create more supportive spaces for everyone? 🌍✨ #MentalHealthMatters"
