I think depression is growing because in these days there are a pressure on people to become better and better in every aspect of their lives. In addition there are so many different messages from the world. You will be happy if you do this or that and so on ... If we skip the trip for happiness and try to live in the here and now, solve problems when they come and then move on, life may be more relaxed ... If we can accept ourselves the way we are, we are on the way for a good life, perhaps not easy, but good enough because it is our life.
