I have the feeling that these young-adult phychological/emotional issues are MUCH more common than they used to be.

I reject the "common wisdom" that our "over-acknowledged, spoild", kids are just having a generational temper tantrum.

I am apt to look at environmental deterioration.

I suspect the same cause in the huge spike in allergies in the Millenial Generation.
