Depression isn't taboo or stigmatized anymore? There's plenty of government forms you'll have to check a box and explain if you've been depressed still. Maybe it's more of a lack of awareness of the taboo and stigmatization.
Both "it's not a real disease, you are not dying of something" and "it's not real, just snap out of it!".
In the last few years inflation has hurt the fuck out of all but the richest Americans. Financial stress leads to depression. Add both political parties are constantly telling us the other side is ruining everything and it's just piling it on. A recession is here/coming.

Are people today more apt to become depressed, are we conditioned to get more depressed, or is diagnosis better, or are we classifying and identifying more things as depression?
Back then we had no social services, no soup kitchens, "food stamps" etc. There was no governmental help (other than job creation such as WPA). There may have been more social cohesion and more reliance on the (extended) family though.
