Director (and Will Ferrel’s creative partner) Adam McKay has a podcast where he talks about national issues in the context of classic NBA events. He frames the mental health crisis in America around the suicide of Sacramento King's forward Ricky Berry. There's a great line where he says, "If you watch the first 25-minutes of Saving Private Ryan, what you're really seeing is 20-30,000 therapist jobs being created for the children of the guys who survived that hell but could never talk about it."
Sadly, a lot of men in that generation coped with what they saw in the war by drinking away the memory every night.

Ever watch Band of Brothers last disc of the set showing all the soldiers in modern day, that's what this scene is.
