Why is the number of people suffering from mental illnesses increasing these days?
『英検1級 面接大特訓』177頁参照。
* In recent years, the reported number of people suffering from mental illnesses has reached unprecedented levels. While this trend is often viewed with alarm, it is the result of a complex interplay between shifting societal stressors(ストレス(心理的・身体的な歪み)を引き起こす刺激や要因) and a positive evolution in how we perceive psychological health.
One primary driver is the unique pressure of modern life. The digital age, while connecting us globally, has introduced "technostress" and a "highlight reel" culture. Constant exposure to the idealized lives of others on social media often fuels inadequacy(/ ɪnˈæd ɪ kwə si /不十分, 不適当, 能力不足; 劣等感, 力不足感) and social isolation. Furthermore, global instability—including economic uncertainty, the lingering effects of the pandemic, and climate anxiety—has created a state of "perpetual crisis" that taxes the human nervous system beyond its traditional limits.
However, the increase is also a sign of progress. Increased mental health literacy and the gradual destigmatization of seeking help mean that more people are coming forward. What was once dismissed as "nerves" or "laziness" is now accurately identified as clinical depression or anxiety. We are not necessarily seeing a world that is "sicker," but rather a world that is finally recording the true scale of human suffering.
Ultimately, the rise in mental health statistics reflects both a more demanding environment and a more aware population. Addressing this crisis will require a dual approach: mitigating the systemic stressors of modern life while continuing to expand the community-based support systems that allow individuals to thrive. 「本危機の解決には、現代社会の構造的なストレス因子の緩和と、個人の自己実現を支えるコミュニティ基盤の支援システムの継続的な拡充という、両面からの施策が不可欠です。」
