I read a study the other day that showed as Asian counties westernize, the depression rate shoots up, even though the standard of living increases.

I find it very ironic that I make a very good living on the internet, am vastly more wired or actually wireless these days, and yet in my off time try and get as far away as possible from most external stimulus.
As to the depression rates here and in Asia. Look at what Western Society considers the aesthetic, and intelectual norm.If you strived to be that ideal, and were doomed to failure by genetics or environmental reasons etc... it would depress you too....lol
When we shape our values: Moral, Philosophical, Spiritual and Physiological, on what we see on TV, and in advertising we are doomed.
