Nice Mis-quote. The actual quote say "I'd love to say, ‘I’m choosing meds because we’re all too busy to deal. The pressure of gymnastics, math, plus viola lessons just got too much.’ But, oh my God.” The woman quoted was saying that she's tried everything and that meds were a last resort.
I honestly don't know what causes it, but I can guarantee it not a new thing. I hear my dad talk about his cousin sometimes and he sounded exactly like the kids described in that article. He was always negative and had outbursts. Of course being the late 60s nobody knew wtf depression was. Well, My dad's cousin grew up and ended up blowing his head off with a shotgun. From the stories I've heard, they should have expected he was suicidal at the age of 12. If medication works, use it. Just don't abuse it.
