I finally have hope that we will see a change in this next generation. They are doing something about the other real life factors that would leave any normal person depressed. Instead of a pill, they are taking to the streets, as well they should. In the 60s and 70s we did the same. We were crazy, yes, but not depressed.

Here in Quebec we offer just about the most affordable university education in North America. Annual tuition for locals is $2391, for the rest of Canada it's $7402 and for international students it starts at $16,373 (roughly $12,600 US). But the mental health status of our student population is no better than at other universities. Our mental health counsellors are fully booked, exam deferrals for mental health reasons are way up and suicides, well, we don't talk about them-

Students have long been under financial stress and that may indeed be one of the factors leading to depression but what they are experiencing today runs deeper than that.
