Depressed in Utah

A recent study published by Mental Health America states that Utah has been ranked as the most depressive state in the country. To be precise, according to MHA, some 10.14 percent of adults in Utah "experienced a depressive episode in the past year and 14.15 percent experienced serious psychological distress. ... Individuals in Utah reported having on average 3.27 poor mental health days in the past 30 days." Wow!
And of couse, women, are more likely to be diagnosed than men.
They are trying to figure out just why we have achieved this profound award. Could it be the "deeply rooted" culture, we don't even have to say what that culture is, that's how deep it is. Is it the expectation that women are supposed to bear it all? Keep smiling, volunteer, buy presents, drive carpools, make doctors appointments, support their neighbors, make sure your family functions like clockwork.
Just paraphrasing guys, don't get your tighty-whities in a twist.
But what if we aren't part of this rooted culture? What is our excuse?
Do we need an excuse, I don't have an excuse, why are you asking, just leave me alone...?
Are we finally coming to the realization that this is so much more common than this study could even statistically prove?
This is a real disease, and it affects everyone, but I am certainly curious as to why, we get so lucky to be labeled the most depressed state, and our friends over in Hawaii, with their damn tranquil waters and air that smells of flowers, and just makes you happy, get to be rated as #2, and for all of you that are incredibly curious, South Dakota #1? What!!! Well, their tourism site says...Great Faces. Great Places.
