Exploring Motives Behind Over-Prescription and Environmental Factors in Mental Health
The over-prescription and over-diagnosis of mental disorders may stem from medical professionals seeking financial gain by aligning with the medical establishment. The internet and societal norms have led to labeling of emotions and behaviors, which may contribute to the rise in mental health diagnoses. A shift in perspective towards environmental factors affecting mental health, such as absent parents or overwhelming work schedules, challenges the genetic explanation and raises questions about societal influences. The contagious effect of observing and mimicking behaviors in a peer group can also impact mental health perceptions. Online platforms often incentivize sharing struggles for support, creating a dynamic where struggles are rewarded over positive experiences. Approaching mental health issues with compassion and understanding, especially in educational settings, can provide a more supportive environment for individuals to navigate their struggles and connections.
