The assertion I made about 70 years ago was certainly true...young people did not have time to notice if they were depressed etc.
If you feel that my thread is so out of order.....then there is a facility to report it.

This is the point I mean lol! Epilepsy may not have been recognised as a mental illness before but it is now. Its the same for things that once where and not arent, having a baby outside of marriage for example, didnt that used to be something you'd be sectioned for in the 50's?
Times change and the definitions change. Thats why it looks like its increasing. I think its a reasonable observation.
