We certainly diagnose mental illness more. I feel like more and more people are actually seeking help than trying to deal with it themselves. Mental illness has reached peak mainstream exposure.

This, and/or the fact that this incoming generation grew up during the recession. There was a constant air of negativity and pessimism during that time, and of course the direct economic impact upon families.

Interesting analysis... The greatest generation grew up in the great depression and went through the worst war in the history of mankind unscathed. Next?

Have you seen the range of mental illness found in various senior citizens and veterans? That's a whole other beast of its own.

Yes, but their presentation is largely inconsistent with the time frame. Many of the issues seniors face today are more consistent with brain morphology and genetic misfires rather than strictly environment.
