I agree, people need social stability, especially in countries that prioritize capital over national well-being (hm, almost every country 😁). But we can also say there are a lot of depressed people in the Scandinavian countries, too. It's just that it's most drastic in the US and economies in transition.

I think in every nation there are those who need to work on their souls. Thanks to the modern set of values, the political climate in the world, and capital amassment, we went too far away from what we actually need for a good life. Where is family? And the real need for deeper connection?
