The parent seeks to discredit the legitimacy of all mental disease, based on a study of a handful of Mensa members from 2016. Does that "discredit the truth?"

Their original comment was flagged and removed. Sorry, who's the "asshole" again?

Christians actually have a larger majority in Ethiopia than in the US. Looks like it takes more than "community, shared culture, shared religion." Oops!

False, we expect people to be depressed when depressing things happen, this is normal and called "situational depression," you've confused it with a disorder.

Depression has been a problem in Ethiopia for much longer than the conflict in Tigray, despite the abundance of "community, shared culture, shared religion." Looks like it takes more than that...

All 3 are in abundance in Ethiopia. So why are depressive disorders so prevalent there? Folksy phrases aren't a great guide to mental health.

Wrong again, a psychologist would not make that mistake. They know what those words mean; you just googled them. Luckily you didn't even try explain away dysthymia from your armchair because, well, you have nothing to stand on.

> Many psychiatrists, by virtue of their education, are part of a class of people who are themselves more prone to depression and anxiety

Yikes, now we're just on to blind speculation.

You're describing situational depression. Very different than major depressive disorder or dysthymia for which these drugs are often prescribed. Common mistake.
