Apparently, it is noticed that compared to the poorer families, the affluent family members are more prone to psychological problems,drug addictions etc.
Previously in a country like India young children were grown amidst poverty or within very limited resources. There were less number of addicted people. Compared to present scenario mental health of the population was good but now as a developing country we are facing more crisis than ever.Parents are complaining about their children,young people are jobless,fraustrated and as a consequence they are addicted to different bad habits.
All these evils are proliferating day by day in our society.
Hence, before designing the future development of any society we should try to anticipate it's social and cultural impact and accordingly the benefits are to be distributed.

I'm not qualified to know about the changes you describe. My understanding is that higher levels of affluence are not associated with higher levels of happiness, once a level of resources has been reached where a family has enough to eat, a decent level of housing, etc.I am sorry to hear about the scenario that you describe, R

Hi Jayanta,

If you are referring to a specific political/scientific/socio-economic study, kindly cite it here so we may all participate. Otherwise. it is hard to comment on such a blanket statement.

Cheers,
