That’s a weird thing to assume, and makes no sense.

Also ”makes people go crazy” is a fittingly insulting way to put depression in a comment that’s way off base to begin with.

I'm sorry if "go crazy" offends people, that was not my intention. I know my way around depression, but English is not my native language.

I still think my reasoning is fairly sound, though.

Some people spend their time seeking pretext for offense and outrage. It produces a addictive chemical response and is actually quite topical.

People are quick to make the least charitable interpretation, or even fabricate an issue entirely in the quest for a fix.

Why does it make no sense? A lot of the social and mental frameworks that were available for previous generations have disappeared or are on the way out. Why would this not have an effect?
