Fibromyalgia, CFS, OCD, ADD, ... 100 years ago no one heard of all that stuff. What do you think has caused all these ailments - food additives, environmental toxins, TV, hot dogs, bad parents, lack or responsibility, laziness or what?

if you think you got something...just take a pill...instead of working hard to correct it or making it work or being able to deal with it.

It could be a number of things, including some you mention. Some suggest that drug companies may be'creating'new diagnoses to sell more drugs. However, some of the disorders may also be legitimate.

lack of a nucleus family. too many single mothers raising children, too many fathers not taking responsibility, too many divorces, too much feminisation of men, not enough exercise, too much tv, too much sexual content in music, tv, radio . . . excess, excess, excess.

Humankind has changed this earthly environment and it has taken a toll on every level.However, in our defense, some of these illnesses were around for 100 years or more but there were diagnosed as something else. Other times, people just suffered silently.The good news is that today, we are discovering new treatments to help the ill.

Fewer people die early nowadays. Child mortality is falling, people live older, etc. so we'd get more cases of all diseases, including mental ones. Also, our society is creating a dissonence between what we feel is right and what we are taught is right. We are made to act in ways that don't seem natural to us; that would drive anybody crazy after long enough. Social problems compound our extended lives to create more instances of insanity.
