John Burn-Murdoch (FT) suggests the rise in mental health as a health issue, may not be as much a rise in incidence (although it could be that too) but may be an issue of acceptance of such health characterisations.
The young are more willing to identify issues as to do with mental health, while older generations suffering similar issues can be reticent ascribing their suffering to mental health problems... leaving the shape of the mental health crisis still unclear.
