Wealth inequality has an increased a lot in the last four decades. I’d start there when looking for a source for mental health issues.

- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoMoney does buy certain level of comfort ( and help if needed ) so I am more than willing to consider it as a factor, but I am not sure it is THE answer to the source of mental health issues. Lack thereof may make things worse, but I am not sure it is the core issue. FWIW, I may well be wrong, but I don't think it is fair to assume it is X, when you see same health issues pop up in otherwise wealthy environments. Most interesting example of that being 'affluenza'.
