There's a TED Talk about how groups in third world countries deal with various mental illnesses. According to the speaker, they do a better job. There's a lot of reliance on the group in these communities and it makes them stronger, while here we exist much lonelier lives and that contributes to higher levels of mental illness. I tried to find it on youtube but no luck.
