>>5598911>people in ideal conditions have no reason or excuse to get depression.It doesn't work like that. Two examples:
During WW2 London bombings the officials prepared for psychiatric treatment of thousands of people - the opposite happened. There were in fact less people with mental problems than usual.
9/11, same thing. For example some of the vets living in NY and suffering of PTSD actually reported that their symptoms have decreased. Also after 9/11 the suicide rate went dramatically down in the city.
Now, the problem with first world country depression is simply loneliness due to shortage of factors that pull people both physically and psychologically together. There is too much everything else around. This thing has been published in various studies for years. And no one's listening.
