    We probably dont hear about all the Billionaires with depression. because why would they want to talk about it to the public. Everyone would hate on them thinking they have all the wealth in the world to alleviate it.

    There's a stigma that wealthier people shouldn't be depressed because we have so much to be thankful for. When we express our struggles we are shamed for doing so by those who don't have what we have. Money might make your life easier but it doesn't guarantee happiness.

      I’m so glad you said this. I feel more depressed now because I can’t even speak on it without somebody assuming that I’m bragging. I get gaslit now more than ever. No one has empathy about what I’m going through because of how well off I am. The only thing money guarantees for me is a solution to an issue: payment, bill, flat tire, a salon visit. Money absolutely does NOT guarantee an open ear, authentic connections, understanding, empathy, participation, support, encouragement, compromise, laughter, or joy. And when I do mention my difficulties, people automatically associate it with the fact that I have money in the first place… as if the choice is between “either money or happiness” like they are on polar ends of a spectrum. it’s not like you are happy without money and you are miserable with money. They are not synonymous with each other. That’s another thing people don’t understand

      I used to be on of those people who thought millionaires can’t actually be depressed. Now having reached that mark, depression truly does not discriminate based on wealth. It may be true that wealthy people are less likely to be depressed, but they’re certainly not excluded from it

      But it sure can help you tackle it. Thats all you can say to poor people who have it. They meanwhile don't really have the option to get help for themselves because therapy and healthcare in America is expensive and its only getting worse. All costs are going up. And they don't have the time as much of their lives are spent working and working, going about their day with dark and morbid thoughts. Do I really ned to say anymore?

    We leave in an increasingly angry world and thus devoid of a spiritual meaning. If you don't deal with your childhood trauma you will not heal. Your power was taken away by them. Applying all these chemicals is just temporary and not freeing at all.
    One has to go directly and forgive their parents for everything done to them and all that sickness of mind and spirit will go away right away. This is a spiritual thing not physical. This applies to everyone. A lot of money and power is being made in the name of anger.

      Money can buy comfort, not happiness or a fulfilling life. Imagine you can buy any car you like and don't have to worry about the economy. But you come home, you're alone, can't figue out who your real friends are and who's with you because of money. You have no drive to do anything and your hobbies are not fulfilling anymore and you don't have to work to achive anything no more.
      Money has nothing to do with depression. Animals at zoo's can be deperssed and they don't have any danger near by and get feed regularly. These animals don't even know the concept of money.

      These rich people have no idea what depression is and they’ll never experience it, it’s laughable that you’re comparing their comfortable lives to people who are actually depressed due to financial struggles.
