Does anyone have any good sources on capitalism beign fucking AWFUL for your mental health/well being? I'm writing a paper on alienation and I could have sworn I had concrete sources for this lying around but I appear to have lost what I had.

    I got you, comrade. I wrote a talk on this a few years ago for my organization. Here's my bibliography:

    Article that provides support for sections on individual vs. societal health and the "pathologization of everyday life": https://socialistworker.org/2017/08/02/they-ask-whats-wrong-not-what-happened

    A review of the book that was my main source: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-30/reviews/not-every-kid-bond-matures-2/

    (LibGen's down for me at the moment or I'd link to that, too . . . the book is Kids These Days, by Malcolm Harris.)

    A recent psychological study that explicitly blames neoliberalism for an uptick in certain personality disorders: https://jacobinmag.com/2018/01/under-neoliberalism-you-can-be-your-own-tyrannical-boss

    Cops in schools statistics: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2018/02/22/putting-more-cops-in-schools-wont-make-schools-safer-and-it-will-likely-inflict-a-lot-of-harm/?utm_term=.b5190b848849

    Also the chapter on cops and mental health in Alex Vitale's The End of Policing.
