Thank you for this article. It confirms to me that depression and suicide have reached pandemic proportions in the last generation. I feel part of the problem is the lack of the need to struggle to survive. When everything is handed to you, there is no sense of responsibility, no drive to succeed, no sense of purpose, no challenge to overcome. To quote a current popular saying, "I've never met a strong person with an easy past." As humans, we NEED adversity to survive and excel.
