todays people r more prone 2 depression... what is d reason???

Well, sometimes its unavoidable that we feel depressed for the day..but for the health its not a good side, i believe in Meditation which will balance our mind and helps to be normal at situations.

Poor life management and least oppurtunity to have fun and almost all disaster is happening arounfd us now. family problems, money, job,paying big taxes, etc..

Because life sucks- that's why! *laughing* Just kidding, but seriously, I wonder where this statistic came from? Is this actually true? Or is it just something that you observe and notice recently? It could just be that more people are being diagnosed with the illness. I wonder why humans are so prone to depression in general. Even reading historical books about the old, old days, they talk about people going insane, and being depressed for years. And imagine how horrible depression had to be back then?!! There was NOTHING to distract your idling mind from depression then! That REALLY would've been horrible. There are a lot of stresses in life, and even one's environment can effect your mind. So, are we actually MORE prone to depression or seeking more help from medical professionals?
