Well white people are use to having nice things and having a great life. When they lose something or something isn't going the way they want it to they seem to get depressed. I wouldn't know this for sure but I do have that idea.

I don't agree that most depression is from white people. I however, agree that people are depressed and many for small reasons, but even though peoples problems are not the same and some are worse than others, its their problems. Whats problems to some may not be for others. Since a range of people are depressed, you will assume it is of the race you hang with most often. Color of skin does not affect how one feels, we are equal and have equal reasons to be depressed every once in awhile.

I would like to see everyone (of every race) not sweat the small stuff, and enjoy life a little more, but I do feel for those who have problems and don't know how to deal with them. I hope they find peace......Good question and take care!

Question...where are you getting your statistics from? Who are you to say that most depressed people are white when you have no idea if a black, asian, hispanic, spanish, green purple or blue person is depresssed. And if you think white people have it easy then you know even less about society than I thought. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Depression is a chemical imballance in the brain, not a skin colour issue.

Marco,
Alot of Caucasian(best terms for it never call yourself white,I'm African-American and proud of it,and I'm also Muslim) are not always depressed, they might come from depressed families or families with no discipline and look at the facts:what is making you depressed or feel the way you do.But you'll be ok you might have someone you are close to feel the same exact way get to talking to someone you can depend on and TRUST.

Yeah, right!! We all got it easy...Keep on thinking that...Lets see..my son is a single father of a 5 y/o girl. He works for 7.80 an hour. He gets up at 4:30 in the morning to get her to me by 5:30 to be at work at 6am. He was getting help with food stamps but because he "makes too much money" he is getting cut off. Yeah, he's got it real easy.

Is that true? Where did you get the statistics? I believe everyone gets depressed at sometime or another. (Especially women. It's part of our hormones). But it's up to the individual to work it out.

Because white people have the time to be depressed. If you are poor fighting for your survival you dont really have time to be depressed. Maybe also because most white live where it is dark in the winter and darkness makes people depressed.

More suicieds in Sweden than in Mexico
