Developed world is dying of obesity, diabetes, suicide and depression. Are those problems less severe than under developed countries, without access to vaccination, medical care and nutrition?
All problems are relative to your frame of reference. For someone who always lived with access to basic needs, some problems might be crippling enough to cause significant impact.
Yeah you can have food, medical care, and a house, but if you take 2h commuting each way to work you'll probably feel miserable. If you have a crippled or distant social network, despite having all physical basic needs, Social Networking tools might be lifesaving for you (eg. depression, isolation).
And I've heard this quite some times:
"Todays developed world problems, are going to be tomorrows developing world problems."
