Therapy Has Created a Generation Of ‘Victims’ According to Experts
A significant effort has been made to get more Americans talking about their emotions in recent years.
Despite this, experts are now beginning to wonder if the popularity of therapy may possibly be linked to America’s rising depression rates.
Their argument is that, regardless of how well-meaning the treatment is, it can lead to a victim mentality where people become fixated on their feelings and disconnected from the real world, increasing their depression.
Around a quarter of US adults said they had visited a therapist or psychiatrist in 2022, which is twice as high as 20 years ago and far higher than the around 3 percent in the UK.
