Most Women Are On Crazy Pills, And It's Bad For Everyone

What's happening

Most Women Are On Crazy Pills, And It's Bad For Everyone — A recent report from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) highlights a growing trend among liberal young adults, particularly women, who are increasingly disinterested in marriage and parenthood. Co-author Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia, notes that this trend represents a significant ideological divide in family formation, with liberal young adults experiencing lower levels of happiness compared to their conservative counterparts who prioritize family life. Explainer As A Former DC Cop, The Federal Takeover Was The Right Move The report reveals a stark decline in marriage rates women aged 25 to 35 since the 1980s. For conservative women, the percentage of those who have ever been married has decreased from 83% to 60%. In contrast, liberal women have seen a more dramatic drop from 75% to 44%. Similarly, the percentage of liberal women in this age group who have had children has fallen from 60% to 40%, while conservative women have seen an increase from 65% to 71%. Wilcox attributes this decline to a cultural shift influenced by progressive messaging that often undermines the value of family life. The IFS report cites various media narratives that promote solo living and question the benefits of traditional family structures. For example, a Times article suggested that "married heterosexual motherhood in America ... is a game no one wins," while a Washington Post op-ed celebrated the idea that divorce can lead to personal happiness. A recent trend shows a significant number of young women in the United States are relying on antidepressants and other psychiatric medications.

What's at stake

According to the CDC's National Health Interview Survey, approximately one in four adult women reported taking at least one psychiatric medication in the past year. This trend has been particularly pronounced among college students, with around 17% of those aged 18-25 using such medications, a figure that is likely higher among female students. Explainer Most Women Are On Crazy Pills, And It's Bad For Everyone The rise in medication use among women can be attributed to various cultural shifts, including the pervasive influence of social media. Jonathan Haidt, in his book "The Anxious Generation," notes a correlation between the increase in depression and anxiety among young girls and the mainstream adoption of smartphones and social media around 2008-2010. This period also saw a spike in self-harm incidents and emergency room visits, indicating a broader mental health crisis not confined to the U.S. Social media platforms have contributed to a culture where reliance on medication is normalized. An article in The Wall Street Journal referred to SSRIs as a "hot lifestyle accessory," suggesting that they have become a status symbol among some women. This shift in perception raises concerns about the implications for mental health, particularly as women are encouraged to focus on their feelings, potentially leading to increased rumination and misery. The ease of access to psychiatric medications through telehealth services has further exacerbated this trend.

A report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has revealed extensive efforts by President Joe Biden's inner circle to manage perceptions of his mental acuity. The 100-page document, titled "The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House," outlines how aides and advisors allegedly prioritized political considerations over transparency regarding Biden's health. Faces Growing Concerns Over Crime And Homelessness Amid Federal Intervention The committee, chaired by Rep. Instead, the report claims he provided misleading medical assessments. The committee has recommended that the District of Columbia Board of Medicine review O’Connor’s actions for potential misconduct. Anita Dunn, a senior advisor to Biden, testified that the president's team collectively decided against a cognitive exam, despite public calls for one. James Comer, R-Ky., has requested a Department of Justice investigation into the actions of Biden's inner circle, particularly concerning executive actions signed by an autopen. The report states, "President Biden’s inner circle worked tirelessly and creatively to conceal the president’s bad days — whether it was through Hollywood filmmakers or aides disguised as the Easter Bunny." One significant finding is that Biden's longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, never conducted a cognitive exam on the president. What to watch next is whether new filings, agency actions, votes, or court decisions change the timeline—and how officials respond in the weeks ahead.
