I feel this is particularly apt as depression has grown considerably over the past few decades. Could be the result of destigmatization, or could be the result of society worsening in some way. If you have a poor social life and feel like an underachiever (which describes increasingly more people, IME) it’s no surprise to me that you would experience depression

To start, I hope that if you're talking about yourself you are doing ok. But yes I think its possible all of the things you're talking about put together. The long term effects of the extreme wealth gap are so broad they're difficult to even take a survey of. But at the same time, we're becoming more open about mental health issues and acknowledging them as legitimate problems so reporting in accepting, progressive communities is going to make it seem like there are more.
