Still processing this article. But I'm intrigued by its premise that depression and anxiety could have as much to do with your culture as with your brain.

"It turns out if you have no control over your work, you are far more likely to become stressed – and, crucially, depressed. Humans have an innate need to feel that what we are doing, day-to-day, is meaningful. When you are controlled, you can’t create meaning out of your work."

That's been true for me.
