99 MEDIA - How the neoliberal system, Oligarchies and Big Pharma are making us crazy and blame us for it too.

Data from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), show that 19% of US adults experienced a mental disorder in 2019.In the same year, suicide was the tenth cause of death in the USA.Anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, and fear are the most widespread disorders, affecting all the most developed Western countries.Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies'profits in the psychotropic drug industry are only increasing.As the great sociologists and philosophers Mark Fisher and Oliver James argued, and as an increasing number of psychologists and psychiatrists agree, the widespread prevalence of certain mental illnesses cannot be explained as a purely private or medical issue.But what do depression, anxiety, distress, and the increasingly common burn-outs have to do with capitalism?What does it have to do with the Tatcherian idea that there is no real community, only an agglomeration of individuals?
