No, it is not the only problem. The UK has been passing out psych meds, in particular antidepressants like candy. In addition, the English have trashed their ecology for no apparent reason. I remember seeing a series called "Yes, minister" illustrative to the point. They have an old boy government system which even the Royal family members, many of whom attended military boarding schools are absolutely overwhelmed with the effects of on their own country. They trashed the abilities of women to be respectfully heard to the point of ridiculing speech in public by them, halving the intellectual capital. It drove Virginia Wolf to suicide, and in and of itself in terms of antidepressants, etc. and ETC which they are continuing to use, is causing the death of many Britons and the Royal College of Psychiatry is groping madly for drug after drug to continue to justify their continuing irresponsibility to the British people when they have an herbal tradition that goes back to Henry VIII and Nicholas Culpepper. They are at this point attempting to face the horror of what they have done, but reality is a very difficult subject.
I am aware it was considered a comedy series. The fact that that type of behavior would be considered comedic and not openly pathological, which it clearly is, constitutes a self-criticism of Britain that the British were unable to perceive at the time.
A lot to unpack, but I’ll content myself with addressing your statement “They trashed the abilities of women to be respectfully heard to the point of ridiculing speech in public by them, halving the intellectual capital.”
Humanity was doing perfectly fine before women were allowed into the public sphere. Ever since they were given the right to vote, “progress” has been the marching cry and the destruction of the family unit the sorry outcome. Dependency on government, the deleterious welfare state, oppression of anything masculine, all stem from women “liberation.” Now, alas, we’re reaping the sour fruit of that convoluted but relentless process. And there’s no one to save us. Not even ourselves.
Also, here is an example of the superiority of equal-partner relationships in terms of national strategy: In 530 A.D., the Vikings invaded France and absolutely steamrolled the country. This I believe resulted in the establishment of Normandy and the Nordic influence in France. When the Vikings were asked how they were able to accomplish that conquest as easily as they did, they replied, "We treat our women as equals." Hey. England is failing because they refused to consider women as anything more than silent breeders of preferably males, whose ability to have an intelligent thought was rididiculed, then gentrification of lady-like ie. unable to physically or economically defend oneself was ENFORCED. I really don't know what England expected from all that syrupy disengagement oriented violence, anyway. Margaret Thatcher, who was a very poor choice for England in many respects, put her foot down about domestic violence in any form to anyone. Apparently she was a battered child. No more. She backed Domestic violence shelters in England, and it is a very good thing that she did.
Martin Luther was an imperfect individual, however, he felt that health, order in the home, and family life in general began in the kitchen. I agree. Also, the old idea of marriage is a partnership. That is not only the most economically successful, physically successful in terms of health, and emotional successful model for a marriage, the practice of it keeps nation's strong and successful as well. The robber barons of the Industrial Revolution offered up women and daughters for referred violence to male workers they were economically violent, and in the creation and maintenance of very hazardous working conditions, physically violent. "Strong back, weak mind." was preferred by early industrialists in the USA. "I hope the children knaw the bark off the trees." was a quote from a coal mine owner in the organization of little coal in Pennsylvania in the 1800s. Henry Ford, for all his flaws, made history by paying $5.00/day, housing workers in sound, stable housing without making his pay in scrip, and giving marginal pay incentives to workers who did not drink or smoke. "I want my workers to be able to afford my cars." He also said, "If you say you can, you can. If you say you can't, you can't. Either way you are right." The Ford Motor company began to lose its moral compass with the production of Vegas, Corvettes, and a few other poor ideas. It did not get back to any form of sanity until it produced the Ford Escort, a very good car. I drove a Ford Escort LX that I brought used, it fit like a glove. I was very happy with that car and I really did love it very much. I am sorry I don't still have it.
I would suggest looking at these movements as being spawned in communism. Communists have taken over the education system and spew out this nonsense from one generation to another. Wokeness is an example of their latest schemes to destabilize society. Black people have laughed at why so many white people are at the front of race protests. There are huge benefits to dividing people into factions (tribes) in order that they fight against one another. Just ask Obama who before becoming president was a community organizer and communist.
Karl Marx was concerned about the destruction of family life engendered by the Industrial Revolution. Communism was his response to that to preserve family well-being. Obama is a different matter.
Other wirters (it doesn't matter who, and I'm only echoing comments I have read elsewhere) place the blame far earlier. Yes, Marxism and Communism can be blamed for much, but calling for the abolition of Slavery would be stretching it a bit, especially when you consider Great Britain outlawed it decades earlier, early 19th century.
Permit me a disclaimer: I'm by no means arguing that slavery was a good institution. But at least in the USA, the abolition movement was primarily a Northern, which is to say Puritan, social movement. Turns out (or at least, so claimed my source) that nearly all major reform movements (again, in USA history) can be traced, at least in part, to parts of our culture that had their roots in Puritan ethics. You could probably find a similar analysis for other nations. No one era or area can take all the blame (or credit) for social revolutions. How about the French Revolution of late 18th century? Or the Protestant Reformation launched by Luther a few centuries prior? Etc. All of these, and many more you and I've probably never heard of, produced profound ripples downstream and still affect us to the present day.

Yes Minister was a comedy series, not a documentary. This is a serious issue we are discussing, but please don’t lose your sense of humour.

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister are brilliant.
I watched them in the late 80's. Twice.
They, lik70/se other shows following, tell it like it is. It becomes palatable because they are comedies. But they tell it like it is nonetheless.
In the Thick of it is another.
And Veep here in the US.
Many movies have showed us how it's done, but I guess because it is entertainment people do not take it seriously.
The Parallex View from the 70's is chilling and absolutely right on.

I would reply but the characters will not enter sufficiently.
Women won't wheesht, bud.
Yes! Back to the kitchen with you, ladies!
Amen, Sister...
...woman created to be “helpers”
Not less than...
...different and complimentary to healthy joyous human life (I’ll leave eternal to Jesus)
I know what my God expects of me. Don't know, and it's none of my business, what your God expects of you.
To each their own.
