Is psychology a scam? 

What’s with all the genz mental health issues? 

Is it the screens?

Is it a social thing? 
 Infested with Marxist Critical Theories 
 I don't think it is, pretty sure there is an abundance of psychological issues happening because our environment does not reflect anything our brains/body are evolutionary designed for.

We're cavemen with computers.  Our body's are more built for surviving from animal predators and not having abundant food. 
 That is going back to the essence of what is human? Thanks! 
 gotta sell the drugs somehow 
 THIS 
 It's a convenient way for many people to shift blame for their own shortcomings, and its way easier than working toward better health.
These things become psychological contagions, and these contagions can spread quickly online.
People are tribal, so they can form tribes around these issues. They even get special treatment in society too, and who doesn't want to feel special? 

It's got to the stage where mental health issues are used as badges of honour, the more the better.
Just look at corporate social media profile bios. 
 Indeed, and allopathic medicine is our demise 
 Psychology is not a scam but, like all things, government and fiat corrupted it 
 It's kike bullshit, my nigga 
 I kinda think so too. Sigh 
 screens + fiat imo
