Interesting subject, the title pulled me in. When talking about mental health and depression are you talking about mental illness or mental health as in well being? If mental illness depression, severe depression and SMI, serious mental illness (bipolar) I'd have to say all generations combat stress, depression, stigma, isolation. Add to the mix SMI and SSDI = poverty and poverty can limit the consumer which adds to isolation. 500 words is limiting for this piece. Again good subject, thank you.
