We give is such a wonderful benefit. What opportunity do people have? Is welfare a setup where one can't take advantage of opportunity because they are a slave of the state. Who knows but freedom has been stifle with the big brother who decides what you need and how you are going to live while big brother lives lavishly on the backs on all the people being taken care of.

At the very least one would think that the reverse would be true. My understanding was that a relatively high suicide rate was common in Scandinavian countries - one wonders whether a similar pattern of increase since 1950 has occurred elsewhere where these social changes happened earlier.

I'm not sure how the figures compare but I believe that focusing on the solution of activity seems to be a better option than focusing on the problem of depression.

Surely there are other factors involved.
