1. If Odgers was correct that the "real causes" of the epidemic are America's social ills, then we would not find these patterns in so many countries. I just can't see a causal path by which America's school shootings, lockdown drills, poverty, or racism caused girls in Australia to suddenly start self-harming or dying by suicide at the same time as so many American girls. An equally large problem for Odgers' explanation is that it commits her to the prediction that the increases in mental illness were largest for teens in low SES families.
