More Time to Worry

An article in today's UK Guardian describes Chongqing, China, as the fastest-growing urban centre on the planet, with a population already bigger than that of Peru or Iraq, and half a million more arriving every year.

Speaking of the stressful effects of life in the city, Kuang Li, a psychologist, says psychological disorders are "a sign of improved quality of life. People did not have time to worry about themselves so much 10 years ago."
