So sometimes the cause of the mental illness is really clear and apparent and obvious.

It's not some...

complex problem or issue to understand.

Whereas other people have very complicated brain conditions, whether they're neurodevelopmental like autism or ADHD, whether it's bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or the person who gets severe crippling depression for no reason, for no reason at all.

And everything else under the sun.

So mental disorders include things like alcoholism, anorexia nervosa, bulimia.

It includes things like dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and others.

So there's a broad, broad range of mental disorders.

And the overwhelming preponderance of evidence strongly suggests that

The rates are increasing across the board, across a wide range of diagnoses.

Now, there is debate and disagreement about that.

Some will argue, as you suggested, that we're just better at recognizing it.

All these celebrities are coming out talking about their struggle with mental illness, and that's empowering and encouraging people to talk about it.

No doubt that that is all that's true and that does affect the statistics somewhat, but that is not at all the entire explanation.

I mean, rates of autism in the last 25 years have more than actually now quintupled.

I used to have to say quadrupled, but now it's quintupled.

And yes, we're better at diagnosing it and recognizing it, but the rates are also legitimately increasing.

Yeah, it's a great question and very much aligned with a lot of my research.

So everybody knows, in case you've been living under a rock, obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing, skyrocketing in prevalence.

70% of United States adults are now overweight or obese.
