Oh weird! could it be that rates of depression are higher in more fucked up societies and among more oppressed groups within those fucked up societies? and that it’s not just brain chemicals but also the social environment that causes depression/anxiety/etc that are rampant in the USA?!? And that allowing tons of chemicals in our food/water/air/etc might contribute to it too? But that no one wants to talk about those causes because the solution is social and policy change and not medical?

DUHHHHH.

Capitalism is the cause.

Communism is the cure.

Simple as.
