If I can take a guess I would say that anxiety is like hunger, it’s the absence of self-confidence. Anxiety doesn’t have to be removed but confidence increased.
Maybe don’t “take a guess” at how mental illnesses work when there are tons of studies and experts that know better.
Do they, if there is a drug pandemic? Not an argument that I know better, just some doubt into those experts and studies that they have figured it out.
If there were answers, people wouldn’t ask here.
Buddy, stop “casting doubt” about shit you know nothing about. You aren’t “just asking questions” you are actively insulting people with health issues.
Knowing the cause isn’t the same as knowing the cure. We know what causes cancer, but we still can’t cure it.
I’m not sure where you’re going with “drug pandemic”. Are you taking about opioid addiction?
Yes, opioid addiction but not entirely ignoring the others.
Your comment is every bit as nuanced and informed as I expected it to be.
Research on drugs is one thing, it’s another to convince politicians they should go productively about it
Well, scientists have studied this stuff, so you don’t need to guess. Anxiety is caused by trauma, not low self-confidence. However, anxiety can decrease your self-confidence, and increased confidence can lower your anxiety, so the two are linked.

This is not how mental illness works.
I’d go ahead and say the cause is likely related to BPA/BPS compounds in plastics. And the exposure of pregnant women to those compounds.
But ya know, that’s just me.
Edit: lol at downvotes, this is newish research. A lot of new information has landed literally in the last week. I sincerely advise keeping an eye on it as research ramps up.
I’ve posted a couple of papers below, one old, one new. As well as a link to an article that does a good job of summarising where our understanding is currently at.
that’s just me.
So how did you come to that conclusion on your own?
Through the wonder of
Scipulling random bullshit out of their ass.One of the OG studies that raised the alarm.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6946218/
Recent study into specific harms.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0289841
As more research is done, it’s going to end up being the lead exposure of our generation. (If I was to make a judgement call now)
Weird downvotes, I guess we love.3M and chemical coorporations now lol?
Thank you for the links, so it is not “just you”. While it is still unclear what causes it, that seems to be one potential cause.
Which of these talk about anxiety?
Or, ya know, child abuse.
How do you explain vastly decreased rates of child abuse vs vastly increased rates of various disorders? This isn’t my area of expertise but it is my wife’s.
It’s kind of an a known at this point that there is something environmental affecting us. Given the number of recent studies, (check my post below) and the ramping interest in BPA/BPS and ~100 similar compounds, I advise watching this space.
Sorry, I thought your reply was hyperbole.
It’s essentially the lead argument so not as out of this world as the downvotes suggest.
Why do people downvote this post? What he says it’s logical and he provides sources.
It’s a very dystopian realisation.
Something was done without the consent of your parents or yourself that has a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
I just hope we hold those responsible to account. This was researched in the 90’s and the scientista that worked on it were muzzled.

If I had to guess mental health is like an easy bake oven, its really just a light bulb in a plastic box. Mental health isn’t important at all you just need a warm light bulb.
