i think it's probably because that sort of poo poo is not exactly studied or reported in places where "trying to find food, water and shelter" is a higher present priority than "sociological surveys"

thats my point we cant do much more than wonder cuz its not the sort of thing you can easily study

4chan-esque trollbait threads in GBS? It's more likely than you think!

The OP was more like original-SA humor that the real-talk posters in this thread don't seem to be getting.

it's probably greater in lovely places imo because there is a feedback loop between physical and mental health, if one slips the other is probably going to take a hit as well

but we also have definitions of mental illness that are culturally dependent and might not be applicable outside of the culture they came from

if you look at things like early buddhism you can see it as a kind of a salve against worldview and thought patterns that might be categorized as depressive in modern society

but there's a lot more to "mental illness" than just depression
