I agree with you regarding the role technology has played in making it difficult for peole to cope with depression.

Obviously it may change from one country/culture to another, but I think most of the world have experienced a similar process of alienation.

Human contact will remain the best way to cope with any kind of human crisis. Even in latinamerica, where we are known for our excessive dependence on family and community, economic crises and technology have taken a toll on social interaction and emotional health.
