Depression is a function of boredom, which in turn is a function of abundance and wealth. It exists, but I have never been feeling down/depressed when I didn't have the time to feel like it. Going to Uganda, Africa there is no depression. There is making moves to survive and emotions, but no perma state of depression

@baubergo-
This is one type of depression and yes if you don't have stuff to do, it will arise. However, depression is way more complex than that. It could arise if you have suffered from any type of trauma/bullying in any space (home, school, work) and don't have anyone to share. This will consume you and make you sick.

> This will consume you and make you sick. if you let it yes, if you don't have anyone to share with professional help exists. Hopefully family too. my way of dealing with bullying has been to let it drive me, not consume me.

I don't know what type of bullying you passed by (and I hope you're ok) but you need to understand that some traumas are not easy to share. Abuse, violence, etc. A lot of times this happens inside the family. It is way more common than you think. A very nice series that explains this in a nice way is 13 Reasons Why.

yeah I am good thanks for asking. I do believe it, though it's important to note whether we're talking about what the current use of the word depression is vs the medical term. Heavy difference in my eyes My mom works in trauma therapy so I know how common it is
