You mention work several times. Work does not make people less depressed unless it is a) gainful or b) meaningful.
I think a lot of it is a result of people conflating productivity with worth, and worth with satisfaction.
You can be broke and completely satisfied with life, yourself, your situation. Likewise you can have great finances and still be anxious and restless and discontent. I believe comes down to expectations. Managing expectations is critical and not many people do it enough, if at all.

Suburbs were created so people could have an isolated home, but still go IRL to work. With remote work, they're left with an isolated home and isolated work.
