Oh totally agree with you, I was more or less tailgating off of your post unintentionally I guess.
While I believe there has most certainly been a spike in the amount of people diagnosed with mental health disorders (due to 21st century problems I could whole-heartedly with you there) I also feel that another issue we face in society today is , generally, people want a fix or repair for everything, and FAST (a different take on our modern day problems). Modern technology has spoiled us. I would be hard pressed to find that 100% of these cases are valid, when you may have a teenager/young adult hop into a telemedicine appointment telling the doctor that they cant focus and are having a hard time in school, however what isn’t disclosed is that they’re eating junk food every day and getting 4 hours of sleep. Boom, “ADHD” diagnosis and some meds, neeeeext.
Not trying to argue, totally agree with you, just wanted to express myself.

For the record I didn’t mean 100% of cases are valid. I meant that the trend of worsening mental health at the societal level is 100% factual. But yeah I completely agree with everything you said.
