I'm sure this has already been answered or may be seen as a stupid question, maybe ignorant, but it 9:00 AM, and this thought came into my mind while I was doing the dishes. Why is it that there are more people with mental illnesses today more than ever, Mental illness has plagued people in great numbers but it seems like today everyone has some sort of illness be it ranging from mild and nonexistent to sever. Could this be because with each generation's mistakes the human genome deteriorates more and more? Please don't come at me with hate or reply to me like im some ignorant hilly billy or anti-vaxxer mom. I'm just genuinely curious, I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
