People whose stock portfolios are heavily invested in Zoloft are probably not depressed.

I suspect people of faith are handling this a lot better than those without. Just my supposition, and I certainly have no statistic, or even what kind of metrics could be used to prove my point.

I’m fine but I worked for a year almost 100% remote/telecommuting so I am used to it.
Mrs. FD says the same thing — she is a shut-in by desire and habit. No change for her except I am here more.
As for these “depressed” people, I have a message:
Boo Hoo.

Not depressed, that will only happen if the Rats win in November.
More like sick and tired. Four years of the Russian Hoax with nobody being Hanged for Treason and now the Kung Flu.

Uh, not most conservatives. Libs are always depressed so there’s that.

I don't know how to categorize it but I guess sad is the best word I can use to express how I feel when I see so many people that I assumed were aware that life contains risk so consumed with fear that they look like walking mummies.
What happened to the land of the free and the home of the brave? We've faced down and defeated armed enemies, financial destruction, famine and who knows what-all but we cower in fear that we might get the sniffles.
We've become the land of the guilt-trippers and the home of the control freaks.

I would be depressed too if I worked at an America-hating rag of a magazine that pretends to be intellectual, and is going bankrupt.

For woke snowflakes whining about depression in their HEPA-filtered, Netflix-streamed, food-delivered homes, I have two words: Anne Frank. She stayed for 2 years in an attic worrying about a "virus" that killed 66% of her people. Talk to me in two years about depression.

I live in a small cul-de-sac of five houses. Two of the houses are occupied by single women in their 40s or early 50s. One of them has been visited by her parents a few times, but the other hasn't had anyone there except delivery people for three months.
Maybe she likes it that way, but you would think it might be affecting her a bit. We briefly chat with her every once in a while when we're out in the yard, but that seems to be the extent of her social life.

Here in rural Oklahoma, we ended the social-distancing stuff, a few hours after we tried it initially. Group bike rides, picnics, sports, patio parties.
No one I know here (except a few democrats) has paid much attention to this stuff. We’re fine.

Well I went shopping yesterday at a box store and I gotta say what a pain in the neck wearing a mask was and having to wear gloves to look at shoes...it sure took the fun out of shopping having to keep readjusting the mask so I could ‘see’ merchandise I was looking at let alone keep another eye for other customers around me.
Add in paying at the register and having my cap rim butt up against the divider screen when using the pad, and not hearing the clerk because she was muffled with her mask.
If this is suppose to be the new normal attire and procedures then my days of in store shopping will be greatly adjusted.

I take wellbutrin :) it works on dopamine, which makes it different than many others.
Helped a lot for 10 years now.
SSRIs did nothing.
As for the lockdown, I am twitching like crazy again, my agoraphobia is a’roaring back to life and my many odd tics and OCDs are a rockin’ :)
I won’t insult those who lost jobs or loved ones by lumping myself in with them. I’m not.
But it is, in my opinion, one of the cruelest things ever done in my lifetime.
And I am SURE it caused more harm than good. And more deaths in the long run
Old people and the sick should have been protected.
What a shame

My personal speculation is that secular society, combined with the self-absorption our culture often encourages, has led people to feel somewhat empty. This emptiness becomes more apparent when people have less external stimulation.

Everyone? Certainly not.If you have a government job you're probably getting your full paycheck and you know that you'll have a job when leaders allow you to go back to work.OTOH,if you're a member of the middle class or working class there's a good chance that your paychecks have stopped...and that you can't access your state's Unemployment Insurance Department...so you have no income.And there's a real possibility that you've heard that your employer has gone out of business.

I suspect it is a matter of people stopping long enough to notice that they have been living on a straight diet of partisan bile.
Partisan bile is depressing in addition to being destructive.
Im worried about money, especially since Im still not properly well from whatever I caught. A lot of other people are worried about money, but thats fairly normal. Being subjected day after week after month after year to stupid elites who are still in denial about being so horrendously on the wrong side of human dignity/rights is not normal. There is bound to be some emotional fallout. Some people will pine for the ego stroking propaganda, some people will be enraged by just how much damage these a-holes have done to us all, some people are going to have a rethink while trying to strengthen ties to family and friends. All of these things are unsettling.
