Question

PART A: How does Solomon argue against the idea that depression is a middle-class phenomenon?

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: B

Part B: C

Explanation:

"Depression, the Secret We Share" is a transcript of Andrew Solomon's TED talks discussion on depression. In this, he shares his experience with depression and how he finally found a way to deal with it.

In his talk, he shares that depression is often associated with middle-class phenomenon. But he looked for the symptoms of depression in people who are impoverished and have low incomes. It was found that depression can be traced in individuals who are impoverished. Poor people do not even get treatment for depression. So, he proved that depression is not a middle-class thing but most commonly found in impoverished people.

So, for Part A, the correct answer is option B.

To support the claim of Part A, that how Solomon argued against depression being a middle-class thing, can be found in option C. In this Solomon claimed that depression can be found common in the people who have lower incomes and are impoverished. It was proven with an example of a woman named Lolly, who was diagnosed with depression. She was a woman with seven kids and an  abusive husband. She undertook the six months experimental protocol of combating depression. After which, she was able to leave her abusive husband and live a good lifestyle with her kids.

So, the correct answer for Part B question would be C.
