how was the age of depression for mexicans?

Please clarify your question. Are you asking about the age of average onset for depression in Mexican Nationals (People who were born in Mexico and are still citizens of Mexico). Or are you asking about the age of onset for someone who is an American of Mexican descent?

Attached source should have all the information you need, including external links.  Hope this has helped.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution, sometimes called the Mexican Revolution of 1910, was a violent social and cultural movement, colored by socialist, nationalist, and anarchist tendencies. It began with the popular rejection of dictator Porfirio Díaz Mori in 1910 and continued even after the promulgation of a new constitution in 1917. Violence continued until the late 1920s, ending only when the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (which later became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional or "PRI") sealed its monopoly on political power in and after 1928. Even after that, the idea that the Revolution was "ongoing" was reinforced in party doctrine and national thought with its notional division into an "armed phase" and an "institutional phase". The "institutional phase" rhetoric began to disappear from official discourse only under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari in the late 1980s.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution was a violent social and cultural movement which brought the beginning of changes in Mexico. The changes in turn brought a sense of freedom to the citizens of its country. The revolution started because of the actions of the Mexican President Porfirio Díaz. His regime not only favoured the involvement of the United States in Mexican life, it was centered on expanding the Mexican economy. If successful, this would have eventually classified Mexico as a capitalist country but in the end would have harmed the peasant class which populated most of Mexico. The Diaz regime can be considered the main cause of the revolution but the governments who followed him can be seen as factors in the continuation of the revolution.

You ask too much of the common Mexican my friend.\nThe age of heroism, of courage and love of country is now dead. It has been replaced by cowardice, despair, political correctness and "me-myself and my 40 relatives" mentality.\n\nYou Yanks have yourselves to blame as well. \nYou had so many years to establish a clear-cut immigration policy and strict border enforcement, yet the attention has only started coming in recently (1980s), by which time the mentality of "no-borders, freedom to come and go and do whatever to any country" has already taken deep roots in Mexico and in other places from which these illegals come from.\n\nIt isnt too late to change this... but the cost of doing it late will not be cheap, and the reformation of Mexico (given the long-entrenched elite and local cowardice I mentioned in other postings) will be both costly and bloody. \n\nIt isnt the laws or the borders or rules that need to change, rather its the people and the attitudes they have. Change that... and your problem will be one step closer to being solved.

Please look at Joan Moores' book "Homeboys" it has longitudinal data that can be very helpful. Also look at "Going Down to the Barrio" by Joan W Moore. Still available online from Amazon.com. The editorial review from that site says it all:\n\nEditorial Reviews\n\nFrom Library Journal\nThis sequel to Homeboys: Gangs, Drugs, and Prisons in the Barrios of Los Angeles (Temple Univ. Pr., 1978) is based on continuing research begun by Moore and Carlos Garcia. It traces the 45 years of two Chicano youth gangs in Los Angeles. Through analysis of economic trends and hundreds of trenchant interviews, she has unearthed evidence that the stereotypes of Hispanic youth gangs promoted by the media are mistaken and alarmist. Hers is one of the few studies to cover girl gangs in depth. She offers copious statistics to show that what changed these gangs from primarily ethnic social groups to many that deal in drugs and crime was the increased unemployability of young barrio men. Index, bibliography, notes, charts, methods, and somewhat dry text indicate that this is aimed at the scholarly and professional community.\n- Anne Osborn, Youth Training Sch., Ontario, Cal.\nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. \n\nBook Description\nIn this illuminating look at two Chicano gangs in East Los Angeles, Joan W. Moore examines the changes and continuities among three generations of barrio gangs. As a sequel to the author's award-winning study, Homeboys (Temple, 1979), this book returns to the same neighborhoods to chart the development of gang behavior, especially in terms of violence and drug use, and to compare experiences of male and female gang members. \nIn a remarkable research collaborative effort, Moore and gang members worked together to develop an understanding of both male and female gangs and an internal vision of gang members' lives. By using excerpts from individual interviews, the author depicts more about the gangs than simply their life together as a unit; she gives them a voice. Gang members discuss their personal reaction to violence, drug using and selling, family relations and intra-gang dating; they share intimacies that reveal varying levels of loyalty to and dependency on their affiliations, which often become a family substitute. \n\nAfter maintaining neighborhood ties for 17 years, Moore's research group has established a relationship with these communities that gives her a rare perspective. This is a fascinating and informative book for anyone interested in sociology, criminology, youth behavior and deviance, and ethnic studies. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. \n\nI hope this helps. We have to keep in mind that Latinos in the US are memorialize in history and white male America as yet another blockage removed in the quest to dominate North America. A conquered people thrown out of their own land by europeans. They are, for that reason, marginalize and dehistorized in mainstream perception and media. Latinos and Latinas are a vital and significant force in the US in spite of the american desires to the contrary.

There's no standardizations. If you're depressed you'll know it. Get pills, doctor, whatever.

Mexicans are neither hard workers nor are they family oriented.  Mexico has over a 50% unemployment rate and, despite being the third richest economy in this half of the world, is still at the level of a third world country with regard to infrastructure.  This represents multi-generational laziness of a magnitude hard to grasp in an industrious, responsible society like we have in the US.\n\nIn the US, a full third of mexican immigrants are on welfare.  Roughly a third of the prison population here consists of illegal immigrants.\n\nWith regard to family values, mexican immigrants have the highest rate of broken families, almost as many children out of wedlock as blacks (which is saying alot) and the highest rate of family violence, especially serious family violence such as murder, rape, incest, felonious assault, assault with weapons etc.  Mexicans here have the highest drop out rate from school.  The highest teen pregnancy rate.  The list goes on and on and on.\n\nMexican immigrants are of EXTREME poor character.  They are lazy, don't hold down regular employment, use up much of the welfare system and are responsible for about half of the crime in this country.  They don't create stable, caring families and their children tend to enter a life of crime.  That is the cold hard facts of the situation.\n\nHere is an article with various demographic studies that shed light on the siuation:\n\nhttp://www.amren.com/0403issue/0403issue.html

Well it depends on the family income. Families in Poverty work at a very young age. Only rich families keep their kids in school. This is going to be a hard report. Just make sure he does not offend anyone in his report. I would have picked a different topic. With the situation right now everything can be offensive but, for the most part. Kids in Mexico help out way more than American kids. In Mexico its rare for a child to owns a PlayStation. Kids in Mexico are more active in outside activities. Mexican kids appreciate more. Over all Mexican kids are just as hard workers as the parents. They are filled with Chores and responsibilities.

I feel really down with all this mess. I'm mexican and my bf is from MA and I'm staying with him in the states but I work in MExico because I have a really good job here and there's no way I'm going to go to the states to work at mcdonalds. but it really hurts when i see in the news that white people is burning mexican restaurants just because they want all the mexicans to go back to mexico. I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to see a stupid racist in the street and that he/she is going to hurt me. We are human beings for god's sake!

I lived in Mexico for 12 years.\n\nTheir number one reason for the economic problems has been their political system, and the past presidents robbing their own people.

auntb93... has some good advice, I would listen.  Having lived in Texas off and on most of my life, I have had a good deal of contact with the Mexican culture.  I am fluent in Spanish and I think I understand them.  For the most part The Mexicans outlook of life is somewhat different than ours.  Their government has been quite corrupt for about 90 years, it is just now trying to enter the real world of the 21st century.  Their military is anemic, and local police are mainly available for purchase at the right price.  There is a vast difference between the rich and poor in Mexico.  There is a very small middle class.  Money talks, when all else fails.

Cause: Mexican government corruption keeping people poor while they live like fat cats, Mexicans see opportunity for better wage and ability to support families, Big money corporations exploiting people on both sides,  Federal government lax in enforcing immigration and customs laws,\n \nEffect: driving down wages and creating a larger separation between rich and poor. Racism and fear on the rise, lack of faith in the government, despair, poverty, hunger and resentment.

The diagnoses of depression has increased in the last 20 years for several reasons.\n\nFirst we are getting better at recognizing the signs of depression.\n\nSecond the social stigma against getting treatment has decreased a little.\n\nThird we understand the problem more and we understand how often depression is a component of major problems.  Anyone who is diagnosed with at serious disease has to deal with depression.\n\nFourth it is getting harder and harder to live.  50 years ago a married couple could live quite well with a family, a car, and a good size family.  They could also afford to put their children through college.  Now days it takes both parents working to afford the house and the family and if you don't start saving for your child's college education at birth you will be only able to afford Junior College.  The Consumer Price Index is not a correct measure of how effective our money is today when compared to how effective it was years ago.  Frankly, the value of the dollar compared to only 10 years ago is declining and the decline is worse when compared to 20-50 years ago.  The two main culprits of that are energy prices and the high price of health care.  Health Care costs have skyrockected and it is up to Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen to make up the difference.  30-40 years ago a family could afford to send a child to college without having to sell their house.  Today the cost is so huge that often the teenager can't afford to leave home until after they graduate.  If they do leave home then the high cost of living beats them into the ground.  Without college they can't get a decent job so they fall into a cycle of barely making it, which increases their depression.\n\nFifth the pace of our society has increased.  Most jobs once offered two weeks of vacation a year, now it is half that.  Europeans enjoy a month.  Even when people are on vacation their cell phones and the Internet with email makes sure the office is only a phone call away.  Also Americans are working harder and harder.  A 40 hour week has grown into a 50 hour week, and many bosses expect this as a minimum, with no additional compensation.  The pressure of life has simply gotten too huge for many people to handle.

I have adult ADD.  I wasn't diagnosed until I was about 22.  I never had problems in elementary or high school with schoolwork.  I was always busy with after-school activities, which made me happy.  I had problems with depression at about 16, which lasted until about 21...  I have a lot of self-esteem issues, problems with outbursts of anger, problems dealing with frustration and anger.  I forget details, so I have to try very, very hard to keep track of important things.  I miss appointments, I lose important things, I sometimes say stupid things without thinking.  I think the thing I have the biggest problem with is self-esteem, though.  I can't blame it on anyone else, because I give myself the most grief for making mistakes.  I find that real life in much, much harder than school was.
