We are not a minority there is nothing minor about us. We do not all internalize this whole mental health agenda, and become victims.

There are many factors that may create depression and or anxiety. I am no expert, but I will say from experience even disease and the treatment going through that can create serious depression. I was offered a drug to cope by a doctor. I got up and left. After that, I self diagnosed, cope with it all on my own. Now I don’t expect everyone has many factors different personalities, different levels of fortitude, etc.

Other factors are drugs that were legalized can create mental issues, including in certain cases inducing a sort of kind of psychosis. The research the conclusions are out there. Other factors are at the root level social media and nebulous psyop-ing here and there.

The economy, the lack of opportunity, the lack of jobs the closing of businesses, restaurants, the more you see in the city all that could have an impact on certain people in our society are more vulnerable. The root causes are where you find the solutions they are in the problems .
