Yeah, I was just about to say that the suicides by pesticide-drinking I have been reading about don't exactly seem like a sign of good mental health. I would be willing to bet that depression and anxiety are simply underdiagnosed due to stigma or doctor ignorance. Same goes for the number one suicidal act which is normally attributed only to religious extremism: Suicide bombers. Think about it. You've read historical accounts hundreds of years old that describe these things. It doesn't make sense that this is just a made-up condition by spoiled Westerners, which is usually the first thing that people think when they look at official numbers for anxiety and depression by country.
