Which country has more depressed people?

Published in Global Mental Health Statistics 1 min read

It's impossible to definitively say which country has the most depressed people. This is because:

  • Depression rates vary significantly: Different countries use different methods for collecting and reporting data.
  • Stigma surrounding mental health: Many people with depression may not seek help or be diagnosed.
  • Cultural factors: Definitions of "depression" can vary, making comparisons difficult.

However, some countries are consistently ranked higher than others in terms of depression prevalence. Ukraine has the highest reported rate of depression, with 6.3% of its population experiencing the disorder.

While this data provides valuable insights, it is crucial to understand that these figures are estimates and do not capture the full extent of depression globally.
