I suppose it leads to people becoming quickly disatisfied?
I guess there's a growing belief in the West that we shouldn't have to feel psychological pain. Minor/temporary psychological problems are increasingly medicalised (and treated with SSRIs).
Whether or not a person's condition should be viewed as an illness is often quite subjective.
