Cameron Lee Cowan discusses the profound mental health crisis facing Millennials, driven by economic challenges, societal pressures, and the isolating effects of social media.
Every age, in every time, has its challenges. I raised two children in the 1960s and1970s without child support, in a time when divorce was considered a disgrace and usually the woman's fault. In those days, I had no equal credit but needed a co-signer, because I was a woman. But I worked myself out of the self-pity and, yes, the depression, through prayer, through asking for divine help, through a growing faith in God. That worked. The second half of my life has been enriched and fulfilled.
