>Why, in the world’s richest country, is every metric of mental health pathology rapidly worsening?

Simple. A lot of people are not having their needs met by "the system" while simultaneously feeling the resources are there to have their needs met.

People in third world countries seemingly deal much better in many ways in my experience. Although their needs aren't being met, they see no path to their needs being met, that just feels like reality to them.

People in the US who's needs aren't met have the thing they want thrown in their face to the point of absurdity constantly.
