Asian parents be like: "dEPreSSiON iS cAusEd bY LaZiNesS, juST WoRK hARdeR aND yOU wiLL bE hAPpy!"
Me: ๐ฅฒ๐ซ
It's not just Asia, my parents are from the 1950s, in an European country, and they had the same mentality. Money through hard work was the equivalent of a good life. Our holidays were never fun. No one knew what enjoying life is.
Going outside, getting some fresh air and exercise, and seeing friends/family/neighbors is a great treatment for depression
But long hours of private work/study and repetitive manual labor get in the way of that
