My theory is that all our modern junk doesn't necessarily cause depression, but it allows us to take on more chronic depression and other mental problems (distraction, dopamine hits, etc.) Like the way added safety features to cars just caused drivers to drive worse to compensate.

Telling the Amish they're depressed sounds like a wonderful business oppportunity! Think of all the follow up products and services!
