I don't think I agree with this one. There's so much about lives lived in first world countries, with all the signals and information they are bombarded with, that is almost anti-thetical to our biology. I'm certain we are more mentally unwell than people living simply, especially in the past.

I'd assume coal miners and starving peasants just had different psychological issues (mostly, I bet some got depressed anyway, especially as a secondary effect of the other issues). Like PTSD, anxiety and the like.
