Now show me the mental health issues chart for these 4 generations

Which brings up my previous point: if your body can’t feel from deep, numbing trauma, you’re not likely to seek help. 

It creates a dark pattern in the data. 

Said differently: you can’t report what you can’t track.

but statistically it looks like a chart in the other direction.

depression/anxiety rates are high on  all of them

I going to go out on a limb and say they’re still the same. Diff is that older gen often 1) either don’t believe in mental health or 2) carry so much unspoken trauma they’ve gone emotionally offline. It’s not that they don’t care; they just don’t know how to feel it anymore. I especially notice #2 every time I’m on X.com
