My research has been taking many interesting turns. My why question is "why is mental illness on the rise as America's affluence increases?" I was surprised by how many possible answers there are to this question. For example, I've already stumbled upon the evidence of medicine as the culprit, as well as Western civilization, urbanization, and even over-diagnosing.
In addition, I am reading the Price of Privilege and The Invisible Plague. The Invisible Plague is teaching me a lot about the history of mental illness and its rapid rise in the United States. I am working on getting the movie The Road to Nowhere. I'm making great progress!
