Quite interesting. I doubt if many psychiatrists would like reading
this. It could a bunch of drug
pushers out of business.


Your assumption that mental health professionals are unaware of how some
people react badly to psychotropics is another indicator of your general
ignorancw.



I think mental health professionals should start studying the impact of
the lack of physical human interaction caused by cell phones, texting,
emailing and social media networks.

Humans are social creatures and require the non-verbal body language
inputs gained by physical, personal communication. We've become a
society of zombies, relying on text messages to communicate, often being
totally misinterpreted.

Many people, especially young ones, don't know how to deal with
adversity or problems because they lack the personal and physical
interaction with others.

Einstein had it right:

There's a world of medical literature and research on the problems
created by isolation from society. Old causes and new causes, such as
those you mention.

It's common in literature, too, e.g., the works of Camus, Beckett,
Dostoyevsky, and in the works of Durkheim. Beckett's Waiting for Godot
is worth a read, if you are interested in what happens to people who are
so disconnected, they cannot do much of anything.
