\\\"Next To Normal\\\" is about an affluent family where the mother has severe bipolar disorder; she is haunted by psychotic episodes, dangerous side effects from her medication, and alienation from her husband and children. This is not a first world problem.
This is the most radical of examples, but I would argue that the documentary \\\"Born Rich\\\" is not about first world problems.

Despite being the most privileged of the privileged, I\\\'d argue these people have genuine issues.
