They're all depressed. seriously we can again blame nixon for the drug war and the subsequent rise in depression in our culture. (hint: shrooms, go take them)

I would place the most blame on Regan for gutting social infrastructure surrounding mental health and safety

smile magic mushrooms are a treatment for depression that was widely available and frequently used. no prescription needed and SSRIs which were invented in the 90s are the closest analog we have available today because of nixon. the lack of mental health infrastructure is pointless if you've banned the only effective treatment for 40 years.

but yes, also bad regan.
