"more than social norms"

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 11:16am.

Certainly my personal experience as well. Which isn't to say that social norms are irrelevant (they're not; I'm convinced that my own episodes of depression, for example, would have been distinctly less unpleasant if I'd been living in a different culture), but that there is indeed "something more" involved.
