Depression is unfortunately a part of modern society now, and I think a growing reliance on technology is one of the main factors.

- i_am_new_here 6y agoI think globalization is the cause for depression and anxiety, because we are now competing with 8 billion people and not just "in our local circle". Technology is just an enabler, a window into this global world. If you drop that, I won't doubt that you immediately feel better, but I also think, that you just diminished your chances on the global rat race for the top (eg. FAANGM) jobs. Also: It's a "winner takes it all" (global) world and the world is full of (super positive) surviver ship biased stories, which do not match the reality of most people.
