    Your comment sent me on a quick exploration. I was not sure how strong the connection between depression and poverty was.

    Here’s what I thought before checking the evidence: on the one hand, poverty is associated with constant stress of all kinds, from material considerations to social stigma. On the other hand, wealthier people and societies lose their vertical social capital, which on its own could lead to loneliness. Additionally, wealthier people and societies can undergo radical changes of any kind (changes that are arguably more drastic than changes that poor people and societies undergo, simply because of the expansion of capabilities associated with wealth), and that could lead to the anomie that Émile Durkheim described in the 19th century.

    Turns out, inequality is shit for mental health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5775138/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9140340/#%3A~%3Atext=Depression+prevalence%2Cthese+associations.&text=In+comparison%2Ctimes%2C+respectively.&text=About+35%25%2Clow-PIR+have

      Good on you to research. The more one realises how much wealth disparity negatively affects everything, the more one realises how much we need to change.
