quote:Truthful answer is that their lives are extremely easy and the lack of hardship or actual issues to focus on is detrimental to mental health.
What caused that?
For example, until recently, military members actually had a lower rate of suicide than non-military males. That only recently changed in 2012. This isn't just a situation comparing peacetime events either. During WW2, there was a lower rate of suicide. Same for the Korean War.
Another example involved Irish citizens during WW1. There was increasing rate of suicide leading up to 1914 and a decline that continued beyond a decade post-war.
Humans derive stability from purpose. Our society has essentially removed a large aspect of that "purpose". This results in increased emotional states secondary to what these individuals see as a lack of purpose or meaning to their lives.
In response, they either lash out or take their own lives.
It is also why you seem to see such rates of depression, suicide, and mental illness in first world countries. People are fricking bored.
