Amidst threats of nuclear war, collapsing banks, and other potential SHTFs, the number of people losing it is growing exponentially out there. 

That's not just from the rapid decline in the standard of living but also from all the fast-paced transformations taking place globally. People can cope fine with change but struggle with uncertainty. When the capacity to absorb and adapt is overwhelmed, fear, confusion, hopelessness, and despair sets in. 

Humans – individuals and the collective – deal with those feelings differently. The majority will just bite the bullet and march on. Some will get depressed or try to hide from the world, while others will give up in one way or another. But for many, addiction, insanity, and violence is the only possible response, the last resort. They blow a gasket and start lashing out like rats in a cage.
