Why does the u. s. rate so high in depression compared to other countries?

What do you think? Do you have any ideas? I personally believe it is due to social status, advertising things you can't be, and having ideal ways of living. Also, America is very diverse and there is not really a sense of belonging or being of use here as there is in other countries. People are outcasted by groups as well. This is my personal opinion but you should try and come up with something of your own based on these points. :)
