I hope this is more of an awareness of depressive symptoms. I was an incredibly depressed teenager and I didn't even know the words for it until I was in college.

But kids have a lot of reason so be depressed these days. There's no guarantee of safety, let alone a future and they've witnessed more capitalism in decay than previous generations because they're able to see it on a screen 24/7.

One thing I told myself though was that if a kid ever came to to me and said they were down or depressed or whatever, I'd listen to them and never treat it like it was small. I'd like to be the person I needed.

It's why fentanyl has taken off as a uniquely American addiction. If you have any sense of intelligence, it feels like there's nothing worth waking up for anymore.

Same, didn't know the words for a lot of things until I was in college or older. I suspect this is more mental health awareness combined with what a dying society looks like.
