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

Not a doctor, but a student of depression Depression covers a much wider range of symptoms than just “sad on the couch” and varies a lot w person, their context, and their culture Just cuz it’s diff doesn’t mean it’s not real (cool oldish study below) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4109689/

dang looked up somatic symptoms and thats crazy "Somatic symptom disorder is diagnosed when a person has a significant focus on physical symptoms, such as pain, weakness or shortness of breath" So you don't see these, when you're there because they are physically impacted?
