Asian parents be like: "dEPreSSiON iS cAusEd bY LaZiNesS, juST WoRK hARdeR aND yOU wiLL bE hAPpy!"

Me: ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ”ซ

Going outside, getting some fresh air and exercise, and seeing friends/family/neighbors is a great treatment for depression

But long hours of private work/study and repetitive manual labor get in the way of that

It's not just Asia, my parents are from the 1950s, in an European country, and they had the same mentality. Money through hard work was the equivalent of a good life. Our holidays were never fun. No one knew what enjoying life is.
