Wealth is nothing....u can buy evrthing with money except happiness, peace of mind, love etc...ok, u may be able to buy ur freedom with a lots of money....but what if, u don't have the peace to enjoy ur freedom? suppose u r depressed in ur entire life...isn't it better to be in the cages of slavery than to be in the golden cages of freedom filled with nothing but unhappiness !! Psychology is the study of ur mind ....what if physically u r nourished but if ur inner spirit is starving? I think this is why many people try to suicide ! Hey, have u heard of an old story? Many 1000 yrs back there lived a wealthy man...he possessed evrthing luxurious that a humanlife could achieve in a lifetime..but what was the problem? His mind always whispered to him: ''i want more...i want more...'' So what did he do? He amassed all the possible wealth he could..he spend his life like a beggar (in fear that he may be poor spending all his money)...he stole and cheated many things....but would his mind be calm? it still told ''i want more...i want more !'' Yrs passed ....the man died, he found himself amidst the glowing fires and the poisonous worms and snakes...it was hell ! As the man looked upto heaven in search of the heavenly help, his mind cried : ''i want more..i want more''.... the man shouted..tears ran down his eyes...'' My stupid mind..i listened to u all these yrs...i believed u...and what did i get.....hell ! what have u done to me?'' The mind cried out more: ''i want more.......'' The man asked: What do u want more of?"" His mind didn't reply anything....it had ceased it's crying.....already dead !"" And then the man realized what his mind was wandering for all these yrs.....ya got it? lol ! :))

The financial wealth is only a status of someone economic level. A balanced life has other level or status to attain. I read once years ago a bumper sticker saying:" If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" If you invest your life in only financial wealth, the imbalance(lack of pursuit of the other wealth) may cause depression in your life. Investing in people through genuine love may leave you with a wealth based on a state of contentment and a happy life.

Contrary to popular belief, money does not equal happiness. You must have meaning in your life to be happy.
Also, some forms of depression are from a chemical imbalance. Some can't be treated, even with all the money in the world.

- coz they r blind
- coz they pursued unclean wealth and so they can't relax
- coz they have no serious reason of waking up in the morning
- coz they have made their wealth their god
- coz they can't run away from themselves no matter how far they go
- coz their conscience will not be silenced permanently and they don't like what they hear sometimes
- coz they've become greedy and irrational as a result of their wealth
so many reasons... wealth has the poential to be a sure path to depression and insanity if one is not careful.

Money could get material things in life however will not be able to satisfy the "unmaterial things" in life such as happyness or health. family, friendship, etc. Money will just get you material things in life which for some people might be meaningful and for others not.

Everyone chases money because they think it'll make them happy. They get depressed when they realize 'more money, more problems'. What really amazes me is the new set of greedy, sleazy friends that you suddenly gain, i mean how do they know you have money?It's like you blink, and there's one attached to your forehead.

Many reasons. Chemical imbalance is the first and the other one is because these people have not developed their defense immune system due to their being spoiled.

Depression is a state of mind, wealth is a state of inequity.

because wealth has nothing to do with true happiness. Yes it helps, but true happiness starts with the SELF.
