And that's going to be the mental health pandemic with kids and with adults.

And we're seeing that now.

So the results of how many kids don't like themselves today versus then, it's alarming.

Same as the kind of statistics we're looking at here.

Sure.

Yeah, and it's a great point.

And the sad reality is we haven't seen the tip of that iceberg, right?

It's still coming through because, you know, the people are, you know, we were not set up and we are not set up, certainly in North America, to properly manage people's mental health arising from, you know, simple things like tariff and taxes and high cost of living to, you know, uncertainty with unemployment to, you know, whether the whole world's going to blow up right now and, you know,

Everyone has their own reasons for feeling anxious.

There's also a lot of people using healthier outlets than alcohol, drugs, and such.

But for most of us, being able to find a substance, like you say, you're talking about free delivery or delivery right to your home with a piece of saran on the top of it.

I mean, I have a lot of patients that are triggered just to go fill up gas here in Canada.

Just to fill up gas here in Ontario, because pretty much every gas station or C-store has a place that serves, you know, has a counter full of beer and alcohol.

So, you know, it's more accessible and it's more available.

And I think the whole at-home scenario is also, you know, tied together with we're isolating more.

We've learned how to isolate during the pandemic.

So all of those, frankly, unhealthy behaviors we've learned or resulted as being tested through the pandemic, all of those unhealthy behaviors are now, for some, are being magnified and they're growing.

And we haven't seen the surge of the younger people that are now going to start to behave like those early 20s, early 30s type people, right?

Those generational switches.

We haven't seen it.
