1.A television commentator, talking in particular about the suicide of a young pop star and in general about unhappy youth, asked with exasperation, “What would all these young people be doing if they had real problems like a Depression, World War II, or Vietnam?” People with severe depression often try to hide their pain because they fear others will scoff at them and say that they have nothing to feel unhappy about. If depression is caused by abnormal brain functioning, are these remarks justified? How would you feel if you were severely depressed and people close to you berated you for feeling so sad and told you to snap out of it and quit feeling sorry for yourself? Do you think the expression of attitudes like this would decrease the likelihood of a depressed person committing suicide?
