When I taught Freshman Psychology after my lecture on depression a student from Nigeria told me that they don’t have depression in his country…at least there is no label like that.
This is taught even in Freshman Psychology classes and has been for a very long time. It is even common sense.
This is not news…It has been known for a very long time.
Several years ago this was also true of Science magazine. Brain studies needed scans to get published. I believe this on longer the case.
This is a terrific account by Jay of the important contributions of Leon Kamin. Jay Joseph himself is an important contributor to this critical literature.

After my lecture about Mental Illness in General Psychology – the text said depression is universal – a student from Nigeria told me, “Dr. G, we don’t have depression in Nigeria.”
