We have a mental health crisis!

In 2023, fifty thousand people lost their lives to suicide. This is the highest number on record in this country. Depression has climbed from 19.6% in 2015 to 29% in 2023. What you'll hear everyone talking about is access, funding, and policy. But I want to know a different question: WHY. Why are we so sad and miserable? This is a serious problem, and I think it will require all of our imagination to solve it.
