According to an article written by Susanna Schrobsdorff, There is an increase in major depression among teens in the US. In the last decade, teens having major depression increased, especially girls. This is why I chose women as the target of crime.

The film explores about depression. Which is a rising problem. Depression rates increase each year. The number of teens who had a MDE or major depressive episode jumped from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.5% in 2014 which is a 37 % increase. (from a study about national trends in depression among young adults that was published in the journal Pediatrics.) But despite the increase, there hasn’t been a corresponding increase in mental health treatment. This results to young adults committing or attempting suicide.

I couldn’t decide what gender or age group to use as the targets therefore I researched on who has a higher chance of getting depression. Is it guys or girls? And this article helped me decide which gender(female since more likely to get depression)
