Heya!
If i were you the first thing that I would be doing is reporting that lecturer!
First of all no Sociology lecturer is qualified to make a statement like that and no Sociologist worth their salt should be describing as fact something that has just been said in the media (that is the opposite of what sociology is about, it's about breaking society down into its core elements and discarding so called 'common sense' and media hype and then building up an accurate picture of why things really are as they are!
That recent study was very , very limited and has been referred to previously referred on to set levels of depression, basically flash in the pan that ll more likely than not be reversed by a future study!
By the way I say this as someone who has a uni Diploma in Social Sciences and who has been on anti Depressants for several years.
That lecturer should be ashamed of themselves!
