I've been noticing a growing increase for years. Personally I always felt it was due to 3 reasons:
1. Nutrition-lousy in developed countries.
2. Chemicals- In food, atmosphere etc...
3. Fast paced lives- no time for recovery-need a quick fix!Oh and I'll add another one...alcohol no longer 'approved' as a coping mechanism for people...now a disease!!!
20 years ago my sister said to me ...you think everyone should be on Prozac!!
Today I say to her "Guess what everyone "is" on something now!"
