The Great Depression!

Why has America's depression rate increased so much over the past few years? There is no better time to live than right now. Our generation has all the advantages that earlier generations didn’t such as television, cell phones, better medical care, education, and the ability to make our own choices. Earlier generations had to cope with The Great Depression, World War I, and World War II. Life is good, so why has depression increased so much? Causes for depression include: the amount of freedom we are given, the divorce rates increasing, and our reliance and dependence on technology. These times are changing and depression is the final product. Never in any other generation did we use the Internet to find our friends. And with divorce increasing as well, many children find themselves dealing with anxiety and depression, including those children who have never known their fathers. This generation has also been the most free generation. In this day of age, we can do anything we want to, gender and race doesn't matter. However, this puts a lot of stress on people to try to do everything, and committing to one thing for the rest of your life doesn't help the situation. What can we do to overcome this depression? Do you think that future generations will become more depressed?
