There's two problems: Lack of knowledge, and lack of discipline.

I am not comfortable with the idea of mass-medicating to try to solve these societal issues through a brain chemistry strategy.

The feelings don’t matter; you must empower the human to achieve their desired outcome. Maybe that’s drugs. Maybe that’s lifestyle. Maybe that’s gene therapy or other bioengineering. It is their choice, not ours. The societal problems are because of exploitation of the human, defend the human accordingly.
