    Many cultures have issues with depression or suicide. Including ones with a focus on collectivism.

    Work-life balance could be a part of the issue. That can be an issue for individualism or collectism. Although I feel like with individualism it’s easier to set your own standard.

    The affordability of life is a problem as well but money being a thing won’t go away anytime soon.
