Oh, the strain of being French
“Research to be published later this year will reveal that depression has exploded among French youth with increases of up to a third in the past decade. The statistics are striking. Three successive studies of around 15,000 children reveal that, among young people aged from 12 to 18, 9 per cent of boys and 22 per cent of girls show signs of depression and anxiety – three times the total in 1993. For the older adolescents the levels are even higher, with an increase to 14 per cent among boys and 35 per cent among girls aged 17 to 18. . .”

And we’re not even depressed. (At least those of us who dont want to be French… or Americans… or whatever it is that’s not us.)
