University students in Pakistan describe revenge bedtime procrastination—staying up late to reclaim personal time—driven by autonomy, FOMO, and stress. Psychologists and doctors say it can signal underlying mental health issues and, while offering temporary control, it leads to fatigue, irritability and poorer academic performance unless awareness and healthier daytime routines are adopted.

Rising Mental Health Diagnoses: Beyond Overdiagnosis

The piece argues that rising mental-health diagnoses cannot be attributed to overdiagnosis alone; while self-diagnosis and casual use of mental-health language on social media contribute, increased awareness and reduced stigma encourage help-seeking and may inflate apparent rates, while genuine risk factors—economic insecurity, crises, and the after-effects of the pandemic—likely also play a role; a nuanced view recognizing multiple simultaneous factors is needed, and individuals’ distress must be believed and taken seriously.

SSRIs Surge as Anxiety Treatments Expand, Sparking Public Debate

America’s use of anxiety medications jumped from 11.7% of adults in 2019 to 14.3% in 2024—roughly 38 million people—driven by easier telehealth access and pandemic-related stress. SSRIs like Lexapro, Prozac, and Zoloft are frontline treatments for disorders such as generalized anxiety and panic, with studies showing meaningful relief for many despite side effects; experts caution that they are most effective when paired with therapy, and note benzodiazepines carry dependence risks. Public figures, including RFK Jr., have questioned expanding SSRI use and potential links to behavior or pregnancy outcomes, fueling a broader debate about medicalization, safety, and access. The rise is greatest among young adults, women, and those with higher education or LGBTQ+ identification, while talk therapy and broader mental-health support also grew during this period.
