Why? It is simple in my opinion.

And it's no great conspiracy or poisoning of the mind either.

Incomes have only risen 2% since 1975. While prices for everything else have risen at the rate of inflation.

So people have less and less money saved, and more and more debts to pay. Insecurity in life is a massive cause for nervousness, hopelessness and sadness. Those 3 combined are a cocktail towards depression and rage.

I really think it's as simple as that. Money is the cause of the problems.
