Double worse because being diagnosed for a lot of these issues is just a matter of telling your doctor you're feeling a little down and crying a bit more than you think you should. All of a sudden you're diagnosed with whatever (which really cheapens the case of people with real issues who really need help). So a lot of people take medications they really shouldn't.
Add to that:
- Obesity and its impact on sleep quality (eg: a LOT of people with undiagnosed sleep apnea, which can have depression-like symptoms)
- Nutritional deficiencies (big lack of reliable info around this so its hard to figure out whats real and whats not, but shit like lacking magnesium supposedly can have consequences in this area?).
All around, lots of stuff can lead to depression, suicide, etc, beyond "the world sucks".
