Young Rich Depressed

Young, rich, and depressed.

Rich young people are twice as depressed as their poorer peers, seeking mental health services for depression and anxiety at twice the rate, according to studies.

And, the children of the rich also have higher rates of alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders, and criminal behavior.

We all know the saying, “Money can’t buy you happiness”, but could it be true that money makes you miserable?

Although, the research doesn’t explain why the rich young have twice the rate of depression anxiety, here are a few possible explanations.

The rich young can afford mental health services.  Counseling and psychiatric care can be very expensive.  Not to mention the cost of anti-depression medications.  One of the reasons why the rich young seek mental health services, and appear to be twice as depressed, is simply because they can afford care.  Half of psychiatrists in America do not accept health insurance.

Parental neglect.  One reason why the rich young are rich, is because their parents spend more time working and making money the focus of their lives, than they spend with their children.  Parental neglect can cause depression anxiety.

Pressure to succeed.  The rich young are under more pressure to succeed than their poorer peers.  Over achieving parents, who have become wealthy and successful, place more pressure on their children to succeed.  Pressure equals stress, and constant stress, produces depression anxiety.

Depression anxiety is a condition which affects everyone in society no matter their age, race, gender, or wealth status.  Other studies have shown that very poor people have higher rates of depression anxiety due to the pressure to survive.

It may be that the rich young have slightly higher rates of depression anxiety, due to parental neglect and pressure, but the research is likely skewed due to their ability to afford mental health services.
