Without in any way drawing a direct comparison, my impression is that everyone is stressed out by whatever is next on their Maslov pyramid. If it's food and housing, it will be food and housing. If it is achieving great showbiz success rather than moderate, it will be that.

Of course it's not the same, and being well fed and rested makes whatever psychological stress easier to bear.

But look at all the rich people seeing their shrinks. Or look at poor people in the UK, who really have it tough, but at no point seek to think, gee, we're better off than 90% of the world population, arent we lucky.

I am not equating the objective lack of basic life necessities to far fetched flights of fancy, but I have a feeling (huh) the subjective psychological feeling might feel the same.
