There's a lot of things that go into it, including:

[LIST]
[*]Decline of the nuclear family unit; increase in single parent families.  
[*]Economic (real wages stagnant) issues and declining middle class
[*]America's 'pick yourself up by your bootstraps mentality' which is becoming harder to do in a world where competition is global, and where inflation has made the cost of basic things unaffordable for most.
[*]Increasing isolation in society what with the internet and lack of community events.   You can live by yourself, never leaving the house these days.  Make your money, have your food delivered, all from your couch etc...
[*]Social media.  Big one.   Everyone is compared too each other all the time.  And everybody puts  their sham 'best life' online.  Inherently coming up short.  Bullying etc.  
[*]Too much information with overflowing media and ubiquitous communication.  Nobody can 'leave' their jobs anymore.  Always connected.  Can't turn off.
[*]The more connected we are, the more we get disconnected from the world.
[*]There's more pressure and stress today than there's been in a long,long time in American society.   Work too much.
[*]Increasingly sedentary lifestyles 
[*]Nutrition deficiencies
