Consumerism Leads to Depression.. oh Fuck!

Depression has become a part of everyday life with the process of urbanization and has developed into one of most common disorders seen by psychiatrists and psychologists. By 2020, depression is expected to become the world’s second major health problem, according to data released by the World Health Organization’s (WHO). Life in the cities and life styles increase the changes of developing mental disorders, adding that materialistic relationships can lead to greater dissatisfaction.

People used to be satisfied with what they had, now they need more and more and “if they can’t have more and more, they become unhappy. They feel relatively poor even when they are rich.” Consumption pushes people into a compulsory “competition” and these days, even young and children suffer from depression and cases of mental disorders, including chronic depression, schizophrenia and drug addiction are increasing rapidly.

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.
