I'd be interested to see figures for what percentage of Oxbridge students/graduates have been treated for depression.
yes, i'd be very interested in knowing this too. sometimes it feels like everyone i know is or has been depressed. and then i think of the stuck-up magdalene-ites, and the hearties, and realise that it's probably just an illusion, and that i tend to hang out with the kind of contemplative souls who are likely to be be prone to depression.
i'm reminded of the time in my first year when there were six or seven of us sat in my room after a pub visit, and someone asked how many of us had tried to commit suicide. all but one of the hands shot instantly into the air ...
