It is sad that so many things are allowed to be seen as permanent obstacles and not things to learn about and to find ways around.

Depression, for example, can be a great motivator. Why not let that happen instead of drugging at the first and slightest symptom. A person depressed about their relationship might benfefit most from examining that relationship and exploring their own needs and desires. Making changes as a result, could then make the relationship one that is not depressing. Giving a medication doesn't mean that can't happen, but it does take away some of the impetus.

I think it is a pedulum effect. Too few with serious mental issues were undiagnosed. That was recognized and professionals began to diagnose more and the pendulum has now swung to the opposite extreme: too many are too easily diagnosed. Of course, the pharmaceutical companies are not objecting in the least.
