Social media, the permanence of the internet, the rise of video games, school shootings. More pressure to succeed (in sports and in school) at a younger age. More income inequality, and a lot of young people who feel that they won't achieve the American dream of a decent house, a decent job, and rising prospects.
I'm not a sociologist, but I think there's more mental health issues because society has changed in a way that creates more mental health issues.
