> Depression is an urban illness.Those people who live in poorer countries are, in many ways, luckier than us who live in these urban parts. They have a sense of identity (religion, family), are motivated to work (or starv!), and havent the TV to bombard them with contradictory and asinine messages.
Kids watching people blow up, people doing drugs on TV....kids having to form identity through illegal activity because there is no decent role models, kids being told contradictory messages, kids being told little by way of morals....all this stuff aint good for the biochemistry. Because all this stuff IS biochemistry (a belief, when reduced, is, I believe, a wave of depolarization)
