Why does depression and anxiety seem to be so prevalent with youth in LDS culture?

Because it is prevalent in society, particularly youth. Big, big

"keeping busy" as a cure for depression and anxiety is part of the problem.

My 2 cents...processed carbohydrates and social media. Not joking.

Nutrition plays a much bigger role in this than we're taught. It's criminal.

Trust me, . . . it's not just LDS culture. Maybe we (LDS) think our youth shouldn't have these problems

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective on this. The following statement from his post

Inspirational story. I just hope he's really figured things out since he's offering help to others.

Great blog post. The Drew’s and Monson’s will likely accuse him of posting this to make excuses for his in court stuff.

Drew and Monson should work on cleaning up the gutter that is their place of employment.

SLT has no love for us and what was covert is now becoming overt. History shows that anytime that happens

Not the Trib's job to have "love for us." Board consensus doesn't mean much.

In light of the Washington State QB suicide, articles like Monson's re: Nick

Monson is walking a fine line. I’d not be surprised if he has a cheeky dismissal

He chose to put it out there on his blog that is open for anyone to look at.

That implies he should be ashamed and he shouldn't.
