paperboy, I would argue that we have developed a habit of diagnosing damn near everything as some form of mental illness, which conveniently allows us to not be responsibility for any of it.  I know that line of thinking is fashionable these days, but to call something a new epidemic just because it was something that we never even recognized as a problem in  past years, in the language of 2017, false science.  

The article is written by the CEO of an HR consulting firm, who seems to be taking the view that it is the employers duty to address all the anxieties and stresses that modern employees feel they have.  To which I say BS.  Serious mental health issues, yes.  But it is not an employers obligation to de-stress their employee's lives, especially when so many of these stresses and anxieties are self-imposed.
