If there's no clear and abiding biological cause (like in general paresis or something), nearly all psychological disease is culture-bound.

America in 1950 had orders of magnitudes less diagnosed depression than America in 2018, although people had some things that we would label depression today - and that Americans of 2050 will doubtless label something interesting and different.
