experience depression than those living in areas that were not
deprived.”  pada paragraph 1 diceritakan bahwa tinggal di
“deprived area” (not having the things that are necessary for
a pleasant life, such as enough money, food, or
good living conditions) bisa berefek pada mental health
setidaknya untuk para pria. Dari penelitian tersebut diketahui
bahwa pria lebih beresiko depresi daripada “women” di
“deprived area”
