Proposing a Solution

I want to write about the issues with depression in todays society. I can say that I have my suspencion on how and why this occurs,I would like to focus alot on how much of this illness is self inflicted with our mind. I also want to talk about the different forms of abuse physical,mental and emotional. This has been a long standing issue in our society manly because of a power struggle between two parties. I also would like to write about the need for social status.I really havent heard alot about this particular issue lately,but the character Lew brought the issue again when he wanted to inpress his friends and was more concerned about their opinion versus his family.
