From Reuters, via msn.co.uk:
In crowded, fast-paced and expensive Hong Kong, where financial success is paramount, depression is a growing problem. There were 1,000 suicides in 2004, up from 915 in 2000.
An estimated 70,000 of Hong Kong’s nearly seven million people suffer from serious depression, but Lam says one out of every five residents exhibit some form of the illness.
