Did industrialization and urbanization see an increase in mental illness?

by tSandhu

Have any studies shown if there is a correlation between rates of depression, anxiety, suicide, and the progress of the industrial revolution? Are there any other trends? I recognize mental illness is likely just more openly discussed today but I was curious if there is a connection outside of that.

Hi OP, while this question might get answered here, it sounds more like the domain of /r/AskSocialScience or /r/AskPsychology . You might consider x-posting to one of them.
