I think this has to be taken with a grain of salt... I think there could be other reasons for an increase in mental illness... 1. A greater openness to discuss and receive treatment.. and 2. which i think is big, that people who would normally have committed suicide (especially bipolars), are living fruitful lives due to proper medication and procreating.. hence, increasing the number of individuals with the genetic inclinations to mental illness...
just some thoughts...
