Also, let's tak on religion. Do you want to know which was the actual meeting spot for people in Spain? Not the Church. Often, the taverns, wheat fields or the 'plaza' in the middle of a village. People didn't had the same blind faith as in the US. It was more like a social tradition than actual rites, a showoff to display your wealth in holidays and how good you were against the village.

Also, the psychologyst forgot a clear point: back in the day people was drugged as fuck in order ot not kill itself:

- A pint of beer for breakfast, or a glass of wine. Totally fine to do against hard work, a meeting, or even for lunch.

- Women took mental related pills like M&M's in order to survive family duties.

- The weeked arrived, whohoo, everyone did the classical bar-roaming bar-shifting with 5 or 6 tiny glasses of wine before lunch. These might have been small, ok, now do the sum, Barry/Juan.

So, yes, people killed themselves less, but because you were swimming into alcohol without realizing. And, in Spain, alcohol it's the 'social oil lubricant'.
