YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY: Young women experiencing higher rates of mental illness.

A study released at the end of September found that 30 percent of women aged 16 to 24 in the U.K. suffered from mental illness. This is similar to the rate at which women in America reportedly suffer from mental illness.

The study found that 1 in 5 young women in the U.K. have anxiety, depression, panic disorder, a phobia or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Men suffer at about half that rate. Also, 12.6 percent of women screened positive for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and nearly 20 percent reported self-harm.

This goes with the way women’s happiness has been trending down since the 1970s. Hypothesis: Feminism remade society in a way that was congenial to the 20% or so of women who identify as feminists, but that was much less congenial for the remainder.
