I'm with you on this. People are frightened of everything these days, and the answer isn't always to medicate. Faith is on the wane and mental disorders are increasing, despite the fact that our lives are amazingly easier in some respects. We have modern conveniences like dishwashers, washers and dryers, carryout food, cars, heat and air conditioning and so much more free time. Maybe that's the problem. People have too much time to think and agonize over stuff.
