What about the rise in mental health problems alongside the rise in the acceptance of modern psychology? Correlation? Causation?

Viktor Frankl might have been on to something with his change in approach.

Mental health problems existed before modern psychology. Moder psychology gave them names, catalogized them and so on.

No one could be diagnosed with bipolar disorder before the term existed. That does not mean such people did not existed before.

Do you think there are more people with “mental health problems” before or after the advent of “modern psychology”?

To be clear: do you think the practice is helping or hurting?
