New Yorkers are more than stressed out.
Many city residents have "frequent mental distress," according to a study released by the city Health Department.
And they are not getting the help they need.
Health officials said 1 in 7 adults living in the five boroughs reported frequent mental distress last year, compared with 1 in 10 in the state.
The numbers were highest in northern and central Brooklyn, Harlem and the South Bronx.
"Depression is a serious and underdiagnosed condition in New York City," said Dr. Lloyd Sederer, deputy commissioner for mental health services.
"With so many New Yorkers having frequent mental distress, it's very probable that many of these people would have a clinical-depression diagnosis if they received proper screening."

Somebody tell Nurse Bloomberg, he's sure to have a solution.
Maybe it's all the fault of some Virginia gun dealer.

It always gets darkest, just before the lights go totally out.
And yes, that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
Give it time, it'l get worse.
Half the world is glad I'm in trouble and the other half doesn't care.
Depressed? Me? Nah.

I'm sure the big gaping hole downtown and the fact that they plan to fill it with a monument to flaccidity and cowardice isn't contributing to happiness levels.

I read that the New Yorkers have to go to New Jersey to find a Walmart or a Costco.

I can. NYC has HUGE 'burbs. I could see one not looking too out of place on Long Island somewhere.

Duhhhh... If I lived in that nanny-state hellhole where I couldn't smoke in a bar, I'd have mental distress as well.
