Based on these maps, how do you explain the varying rates of depression and suicide rates in different regions of the world? Explore this question from as many angles as possible: political situation, cultural values, religious values, economic situation, geographical location, etc.
How are depression and suicide viewed in the culture you grew up in? Do you know of a country where attitudes about depression and suicide are very different from the culture you grew up in (you can do some research here, or talk about personal experience)? Describe. How might an individual’s experience with depression, and the help they might be getting be influenced by social, cultural, economic, or political factors? (Nikki Webber Allen’s TED talk might be helpful here). Be as specific and detailed as possible in answering this last question.

Remember to write a post that’s at least 300 words in length and to respond to at least two classmates. Each response must be at least 100 words in length. Your posts should be thoughtful and contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way.
