    Great conversation to be having. My friends and I have been saying for a while that the mental disorders you hear about today we never heard of them when we were growing up! and I wouldn't say its because they are just now being discovered! I agree with you Dr. Axe! it has been glorified and sensationalized. Also, lifestyle has changed tremendously! We used to play outside in our neighborhood from sun up to sun down in the summer. I realize the times we live in are more dangerous but outdoor play like that was crucial to our physical and mental health!

    I used to have ruminating thoughts, for years. Then I went to a ND and he tested inflammation triggers and food sensitivities. When I eliminated those foods, it went away. I have been free of ruminating thoughts since 2017! What we consume and put on our body and effect our blood sugar very quickly, so think about how those things can effect other processes of the body. These things directly effect our thoughts, feelings, energy, sleep, etc etc ….cut out what the body doesn’t like and get better.

    This is the best topic to dive into! It's so strange how the culture talks so badly about getting older, yet and still the older generation is doing better mentally at their old and less desirable age (says society) than the supposedly young and healthy?! What a time we live in. But I understand it's primarily due to social media and jacked up parenting.

    Diet has a lot to do with this all, too. I went off my clean diet and “cheated” with processed foods too much. When I went whole foods only again, my whole mood changed! No anxiety! If I drink alcohol or even eat sugar, I feel the anxiety.

Housing (I see ads for 1 bedrooms over $2K, 2&3 bedrooms over 3k there’s no rent control on new builds after 2017 including basement apartments, food prices have gone insane…so I understand why the younger generation feel down and out. Not to say they should go on pharmaceuticals (natural is often just as beneficial) …but we all need to band together to make change…(government is out of control…they only care about themselves and their buddies) ….a poor state of affairs!

We can all keeping learning and growing new brain cells but it has to be done correctly not just being on your phone or in social media . We have to take care of our brain and keep learning and stay active so that we don’t develop dementia and completely loose our Memory.

      They had very few expectations on them, but since everything is relative, it seems overwhelming to them. They have almost no actual problems, by boomers definition, so to them, the smallest problems are unbearable, and everything is 'oppressive' to them, because they were schooled to see everything in a context of the oppressed/oppressor dynamic. Everyone has ulterior motives in their eyes, and is out to get them, use them, oppress and hurt them. Every normal thing of the past is now part of some oppressor class that is trying to hold them down. Marriage is nothing but oppression from the patriarchy, and any inconvenience is proof of society oppressing them. The irony is that they see socialism i.e. total government control, as a solution to all their problems, and giving them more freedom than they have now, because they only see 'freedom' as not having to work a job.
