The analogy you made with the DSM and traditional psychology is a painful but accurate one. We seem to live in a world that searches for cure, rather than prevention. And, yes, I do think we are at risk of becoming more and more mentally distressed as a race, for the very reasons you pointed out here. Every 5 years the DSM launches a new revised edition, and the number of mental disorders only increase.

All the best to you my dear :)
