I think it's fair to look into schooling, but compulsory part is not something new. Something more recent should be the cause

I don't think this is a new phenomenon. I think it's been deranging all of society for decades (at least). We are an traumatized population and have been for generations.

I *do* think it's been getting worse. And how much worse tracks directly to how much schooling people are forced into. 8 years of schooling has expanded into 16. 80 days of school per year expanded into 180. 5 hours a day into 7.5 plus ??hours of homework and extracurriculars.
