Is Depression a Symptom of Modern Civilization?

Is Depression a Symptom of Modern Civilization?

I was on the subreddit "Philosophy" and came across this question. There's quite a long tradition of finding social causes for mental illness. Although this is a philosophical topic, I want to give a more psychological perspective.

Because it’s easier than ever before to find data showing higher rates of depression, we can speculate different correlations about how our modern society and culture affects depression and our mental health overall.

Do you remember when life was simpler? When I look back, I could feel nostalgia. I grew up in the era where flip phones first came about. Although we were already technologically advanced, it was a much simpler time. Well at least social media on mobile wasn't a thing.

Now we are glued to our phones 24/7. Myself included. Hence, I created this video about my thoughts on depression being a symptom of modern civilization.
