There were more people in bowling league in the 80s than the are in any sort of structured social group in America now. Purely coincidentally, depression and mental illness is way up over the same period add these decreases. Living in total disconnection from others also means you don't have support networks to depend on, and having these networks is highly correlated to better health outcomes.

I think it's more related to people just not going out to have fun in general as much anymore, rather than being specifically because people aren't bowling

Unless you're the owner of a bowling establishment, then yeah, I could see that making you depressed and anxious.

Illness isn't up. Awareness is.

But more bowling is always good. The good alley in my town closed about 20 years ago. Had a good bar, an arcade with some great old cabinets-- Joust, Castlevania, Darkstalkers. Many a long boozy night was spent there.

it probably has something to do with everyone struggling to survive working two fucking jobs and then having to worry about some psychotic fuck nut with a gun killing them at the bowling alley
