I found an interesting article about "affluenze." This is the name for the mental situation of depressed people in affluent societies like the United States, Australia, and Singapore.
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Beware the Affluenza Virus. An epidemic of
mindless consumerism is sweeping the world with the compulsive pursuit of money
and possessions making people richer but sadder.
