- The article explores whether depression rates are genuinely increasing in modern times, but notes that conflicting data and methodological issues make definitive conclusions difficult.
- It suggests that modernization, marked by factors like higher GDP, social inequality, and lifestyle changes such as poor diet, inactivity, and social isolation, may contribute to rising depression rates.
