Here's a thought: perhaps the direction society is moving towards is causing depression. Perhaps women being pushed in the workforce is leading to depression. Perhaps men who are leading homemaker lives is leading to depression. Perhaps forcing integration and equality and acceptance is leading to depression. Maybe we need to let the natural order of things operate without us interfering and pushing for change that we think is "good" for society. If we start tampering with how things naturally developed and create an artificial, forced society, we will all probably end up on the happy pill since nothing is the way that it should be.
Downvotes and criticism are welcome, this is a really touchy subject so I understand
advancement of technology is eliminating jobs.
exportation of jobs to 3rd world countries.
cost of everything going up.
income not increasing.
countries going bankrupt.
rich getting richer
sum it up:
progress of middle class has stopped and gone into reverse

Life has become much more stressful.

But then why has life become more stressful? Couldn't the stress consequently be a symptom of forcing people to think and act certain ways?
