Right. And to some extent, I'm going to go back to my major as an undergrad, which was philosophy. And how do you when do you say it's a discrete, separate entity? And when is it sort of one thing merges into another? To some extent, the guiding light is folks in the American Psychiatric Association who come up with the definitions in something called the DSM. Now it's five text revised.

But research is being done to sort of say, does this sort out separately than that? Is one at later stage of it? or just sort of a subtype. And you actually can do studies, both genetic studies, epidemiological studies, to sort of figure out what is the latest that we've learned and we're constantly learning. So it's not like somehow the world,

came about, whether you're religious, you can say one way, if you believe in evolution, a different way, but somehow that it's fixed that way. My point is things continue to evolve both in our bodies and in the world around us. And our understanding of that continues to evolve as we learn more. So don't view it as like, here are the 10 commandments and they're never going to change, you know?

Yes. And you're hearing about it more now because during COVID and the pandemic and the shutdown and the impact on schools and people being home and not just that, but the rise of the internet and how that impacts people, the prevalence of those have increased. You know, so traditionally, I would say before, several years ago, if you say, what's the basic 12-month prevalence of depression?

You know, so traditionally, I would say before, several years ago, if you say, what's the basic 12-month prevalence of depression?

You know, most people would say it was about 7%. And it tends to be higher in people that are younger, like 18 to 24 years of age, like three times higher in that range.

you know, about twice as high, and it's increased lately, just as anxiety has increased. You know, if you look at the statistics of anxiety, in the U.S., some of the studies before the very most recent ones show that a little less than 3% of adults had anxiety problems, generalized anxiety. In the world, it was sort of listed as about 1.3%.

prevalence in the world, but how much of that is affected by cultural norms and whether you, in certain cultures, you don't have good words to describe it, or there are taboos against acknowledging it that, you know, which is probably true everywhere, but it could be greater in some civilizations and some societies than others.

So the thought is that there's less reporting and less acknowledgement of it in some other third world countries kinds of things.

Yeah. So first of all, if somebody has a problem that comes up, you got to sort of figure out what's going on with me, you know? And I would say because of the stigma and lack of knowledge, and if you go back a ways, more often than not, people might have a mental health disorder, but not be aware of it.

not recognize the symptoms, the cluster of symptoms that sort of lead one to think maybe this is more depression, or maybe this is more anxiety, or maybe it's not generalized anxiety, it's a panic attack. So you have to recognize it, you have to get diagnosed, and then you have to have treatment available and accessible. All of which, for mental health issues in the U.S. or in other countries,
