Psychiatric Overdiagnosis: The Price of Prosperity and abundance?

Recommendable! Food for thought! This subject has been debated for several decades in Western countries.

Is the modern world and/or too much leisure time behind the increased diagnosis of mental health issues around the world?

Or do we have too many doctors specialized on mental health always trying to make a living by diagnosing new occurrences and having more patients?

Are we unable to properly distinguish rather harmless from severe cases of mental health issues in too many cases?

Caveat: Behind the Great Firewall of China, I am unable to access this article.

Psychiatric Overdiagnosis: The Price of Prosperity? "Abundance, loose criteria, and perverse healthcare incentives turned normal struggles into a diagnosable epidemic"
