As per a study one in every 4 suffers from some degree of depression in Mumbai Campuses. Fourteen in every 100 have thought about suicide sometime or the other. The current system creates a lot of pressure even for small kids; children as young as five and six testing clinically depressed. Indo-US researchers who had carried out the first study on the same topic are planning to do it the 2nd time. They would carry out their research in Mumbai and Boston from January ’10 to April ’10.
Our View: Our societal and work systems are changing rapidly but we are not able to bring in the change at the same rate in our living and working methods. Our body and mind is not able to evolve with the current ways of living. We would have to change our systems to suit the needs till the time our body and mind is comfortable.
