Take a Xanax! How “Karen” Culture Escalates & What the Prescription Numbers Reveal

We’ve all seen them. Most tend to be middle-aged women and, generally, are identified by their rather aggressive behavior usually involving yelling and screaming. These women are condescendingly referred to as “Karens.” But is it funny? Seriously, is it funny? AbleChild would argue that it is more than likely that these women just aren’t randomly angry or naturally aggressive, but, rather, something much more personal is going on?

Based on the data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) one seriously must ask if it’s entirely possible that these women- these “Karens” – don’t even know why their behavior has become in-your-face-scary-aggressive. AbleChild suggests that this unnaturally aggressive behavior is born in a psychiatric diagnosis and a mind-altering drug “treatment.”

In fact, it seems odd, that given it has become so common to refer to aggressive women as “Karen” that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) hasn’t added being a “Karen” to its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) with all the alleged symptoms, even making these symptoms a “spectrum” of behaviors that can be “treated.” It’s easy to visualize the defense… “Yes, I’m on the Karen Spectrum.”
