I have no way to dispute reported depression claims above. I would however dispute the reasons behind this depression causation for the current nearly "perfect storm" of circumstances. However those that study history, also likely find it depressing how "fragile" today's society is vs previous calamities faced, like the "war to end all wars", the Spanish flu, The Great depression, the Civil War, etc. We have IMO become a mental victim of our own success/luxury.
Agreed, the human condition has turned into being a bunch of pussies the last few decades... seems most have forgotten how "to suck it up and deal with it"
