capitalism def does link with depression. Lack of information definitely decreses your build for motivation and confidence.I'm seriously starting to believe it's an American issue. Maybe even worse up here in the Northeast. Do other countries have an issue with mental health to the extent that we do? I doubt it.
Seems like there is too much emphasis on material success as opposed to spending the majority of life bonding with oneself, others, and nature. I have some friends that are outdoorsy (hiking, climbing, camping, snowboarding, etc) and they all seem the most legitimately content. I think the pressure of American's idea of success leads to a lot of these anxiety and depression issues.
