I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Why are so many Americans depressed and on antidepressants when we have the easiest lives of any other country and live in the easiest times in history? Some of us have a genetic predisposition to depression but it seems everybody and their neighbor is on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety. I doubt people in generations past were as unhappy as we are.

I think.people take for granted for what they have instead of seeing the bigger picture. A lot of places barely have access to running water, proper housing and have to scavage for food in dumpsters, getting sexually exploited or forced labour. Americans have it generally a lot better because most can live off welfare and food coupon if signing of a physical/mental disability.
