[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mental illness has always been there, of course more stigmatized and hidden (grandma locked up in the attic, etc.) in the past. What I do think is different now is cable news and social outlets — the Bowling Alone aspect. My grandparents were middle class but had bridge and shuffleboard tournaments and little parties with their friends all the time. My parents, though, basically turned on the TV at retirement and have let their brains atrophy from CNN and Fox News since then. Perhaps it’s not a diagnosable mental illness but sometimes it sure feels like it. They are lonely and angry and don’t know how not to be. [/quote] Yikes. Yeah, lack for friends and community so resort to isolation and screens. Not good for society. [/quote]
