I went through the Army ROTC at SU, as well as working 10-20 hours a week for all 4 years. I never felt that my mental health was stressed more than anyone else's. In fact, i feel like I was better able to handle stress than my non-ROTC friends.  I strived to be like water.
As a professional in the business, do you feel that the constant awareness of mental health might actually be self-fulfilling? I'm actually curious about this. I have 3 young adult children and they all seem to be bundles of anxiety and have difficulty coping with issues that my wife and I consider to be normal adult situations. Their friends seem to have similar difficulties, as well.

It's definitely a fine line between over analyzing and under-diagnosing/ treating as mental health is obviously a big problem nowadays.  But there is a part of me that thinks some of the issues might be created or exascerbated by the mere suggestion that everyone is more stressed. I definitely think smartphones and social media are part of the problem, as I type this on my phone.
