We know that depression is pretty common in the U.S, but a new survey shows that depression it's hitting middle-aged Americans pretty hard.

Risks for developing depression are reportedly higher for women, for seperated or divorced people compared to married individuals, Native Americans and the poor. Researchers also found that women were more so likely to seek treatment than men.

makes perfect sense. hits women cause of natural mood swings and menopause problems, divorced people because they're lonely, poor people because life sucks for us. always have to worry about money.

Depression has been something that on one end of the spectrum has has totally dominated my life, and the other end has been something I simply manage, like working out to manage a weight problem.

Getting it under control is totally an urgent issue in my opinion because if I left it alone I can honestly say I dont know what would have happened to me.

happy to chat about it with anyone on messenger

Well, I think many teenager and young adults today are likely to be depressed, not juste the baby boomer. It's just clear to me: I feel a lot of sadness in young people today. Some are really lost, lost in drug and in their believes. With the end of the power of the church, people are kind of lost in their believes. No, I'm not religious (far from it- I'm really an atheist person); I just think that people don't know what to believe anymore (is money everything? Is it a reason worth leaving?) and relationship between people tend to be artificial, and there's more and more loneliness. With the technologies, people are link together but they don't feel close I think. Of course, it's not proven what I said. It's just my own thoughts but I believe that more people are depressed that the generation of our grand-parents for some obvious reasons to me. I'm not saying either that life was better in the past but people were happier I think, so less depressed. Life today is also way more stressful than a hundred years ago. Everything goes so fast, there's so many point of view. It's difficult in all that to find its way and some people, more fragile than others, lose control and get depressed.
I just hope I'm not out- topic by saying that. But, yeah, baby boomer are more depressed than their parents and the same for their kids, in my point of view.
