Consumerism - Unspoken stressor to Indian Corporates

This is my opinion and observation. Stress, depression, and burnout are the buzz corporate words. People just have the habit of saying they are feeling depressed when the fact is their body and mind are only stressed. How can one stay with them if they are depressed?

When you face physical fatigue and a mental block, this is only a burnout. Consumerism, your needs forcing you to do workloads of others, is the one that forces you to exert your body and mind. This results in burnout. Continuing and stretching your burnout for your buying sprees is only stress. What to do that we desire and the society sells clothes that wear out after wearing for 2 or 3 times. The consumeristic economic strategies are to be blamed.

Then when you are depressed. You are depressed when you don’t feel the stress and burnout; your buying spree is uncontrollable and you stock up beyond your needs. Your addiction makes you depressed when is not satiated. Depressed that was once a societal taboo these days has turned out to be a fancy word today, without which you are considered normal and odd one in the crowd.

To be normal should one be depressed?
