Sort of the cycle these things fall into. You put kids under intense socio-economic pressure to generate valuable commodities as quickly as possible. Then liberal capitalists treat every stumble and setback as a medical disability that needs to be corrected. And conservative capitalists treat them as some kind of inherent lack of fitness that justifies a eugenics purge. This increases the socio-economic pressure for more kids in the system.
Somehow, proper amounts of sleep and adequate living amenities and free time for independent exploration and socialization never work themselves into the equation. You’re a cog in a machine that needs to spin as quickly as possible. And if you start buckling under the stress, that’s some indication of a personal defect, not a flaw in the machine you’ve been forced to fit within.
