Reply to comment by HToTD in People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga

Grew up in a rust belt-ish town and watched the industry leave and the prescription opiods move in to replace them. The local hospital had to cut back it's services because the tax base disappeared, that included mental health, but the "non-addictive" pills dulled the pain at first. Money got tight really quick once 2008 rolled around since the jobs were scarce and housing equity dried up. Take a wild guess which way my town swung in the 2016 election. Honestly had nothing to do with the policies and platform, people just wanted an outlet for anger and frustration.
