is depression a symptom of modern society? discuss.
>>16887342yep
>>16887342Take clonidine, melatonin, and vitamin d3, it'll help.
Yes, the human brain is a computer that was wired over millions of years to operate in a very specific environment. The human brain is still trying to cope with even simple things like living in a society larger than a tribe let alone something like the internet.
>>16887342Learned confinement
>>16887342No, people were describing depression since Ancient Greece period. Obviously it was mixed in with a lot of supernatural stuff but the concept of depression was there. High infant mortality rates, plagues, famines, barbarian raiders, a lack of any sort of long distance communication, is bound to make some people feel depression.
>>16887342It's a symptom of learned helplessness.
>>16887342non chronic depression is called by frustration, frustration is caused by not being able to, or not wanting to deal with problems in your life.deal with the problems and the depression will go away. unless it's a genetic defect then good luck with that.
>>16887342is my boner caused by your mom's butt?modern society per se only causes people who have an issue per se with modern society to be depressed but, the issues found within modern society are super fucked. Why wouldn't you be depressed if your life totally sucked? We act like we should expect and be grateful for 40+ hours a week but if that isn't even making it, and ancient people actually did way less work then wtf. Depression at least for me comes down to intellect. Low iq people, or people stuck in a narcissistic mindset, can't critical think fast and good enough to overcome frustrations, in fact they often create them. Or you are around someone who is stupid and depressed, and no matter what you say or do, if you are relying on their part or plan in any way, congrats you are depressed too. De facto you don't get to do what you want, and that will probably depress you mentally. Mindsets are memes and whoever has the power to transfer will transfer. Happiness is recessive, you need at least two people to jostle you into happiness but you only need one person to ruin shit sometimes
