Everyday emotional experiences have been redefined and turned into an illness. It is rare to hear people speak of 'having a bad day' or 'feeling sad' due to the loss of a loved one or the monotony of life. Now we all unwanted experiences by the identity tags, 'depression' or 'anxiety'. Interestingly, the Mental Health Foundation state on their website:
"Common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are distributed according to a gradient of economic disadvantage across society. The poorer and more disadvantaged are disproprotionately affected by common mental health problems and their adverse consequences"
So what about the wealthy? There is something very wrong with this picture...
