The Rise of Depression and the Disregard for the Feminine
The dominance of the masculinist value structure has led to a significant increase in depression over the past 40 years, with depression now being 10 times more prevalent than in 1960. Despite improvements in material conditions, indicators of subjective wellbeing have declined, with the mean age of first depression episode decreasing from 29.5 years to 14.5 years. This paradox is attributed to the increasing disregard for the feminine in society, fueled by productivity, hard work, and the impact of social media.
