I am always baffled by the fact that the "western and white society" is obsessed with depression.... People inflict themselves with emotional pain and then make it a public concern....

Agreed. For the most part in the US if you are emotionally expressive in any form it is taken to the highest degree. Sadness = Depression Nervous = Anxiety Disorder Hyper = ADHD .
-
I'm not undermining anyone or their emotions just stating the lack of emotional/mental awareness. Nor am I saying none of these exist, they do. I've experienced some.
-
In the US medical system. Not individuals. It may not even be lack of awareness but abuse.
-
Honestly i think it's the lack of healthcare, the stigma of being treated, and the fact our society and economy is so messed up by the time you are in high school you have the stress level of psych hospital patients in the 50s.... must be those pesky iPhones though
-
If a person is a 1st word country like the US is complaining about how messed up their societies what should people in 3rd world African countries say?... We have people can't even afford a 2 dollar medical bill... But we never complain about stress, anxiety and depression
-
We have people here who can also not afford a small medical bill. I know someone who wears a bracelet in case they pass out no one calls help for them because they can not afford it. I think, often, people from outside the country think of Hollywood or the upper class as all.

It's become a very imbalanced system here. Lots of homeless and working poor who can not afford food. But you never see it in media, it's glitz and smiles. But all that glitters is not gold as they say.

For me, it’s more of not being able to see the will to live, the only thing a human is good for is dying, other than that, there’s not much else, so what is the point?

My thoughts exactly


we are just slaves to the system

Don’t make it something it’s not. It is a terrible, life-altering disorder that has taken the lives of many
