(culture) + (biology) = (depression)?
I just read a fascinating article about the complicated role a person's culture plays in their likelihood to be depressed.
I can tell you as one who lives as an iconoclast that such a life comes at great expense. There is a great cost for not conforming to group rules, and it makes sense that when a person is ostracized that she would be more likely to be depressed, anxious, or both.
Happy Wednesday!
