It is hard to tell: Whether the % of people with depression and other mental health conditions has increased or whether our awareness of these conditions has risen, leading to more referrals for help in these areas. It may be a bit of both. The modern world is more complex and challenging leading to more emotional issues and people are more open to reach out for help when problems arise.
