Britain ranked second in the world according to the ranking of the most miserable countries in the Global Mental Health Index, issued by the American organization “Sabine Labs”.
Britain ranked second after Uzbekistan, which was considered the most miserable index, while Ukraine, Yemen and other countries at war overtook the United Kingdom in a list of 71 countries.
The report measures how “people’s psychological state affects their ability to function within the context of their lives,” meaning mental health is linked to location.
The report’s findings suggest that despite living in an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, Yemenis, for example, work relatively better not only than British, but also Australians and Irish.
Rich Western countries have performed poorly overall, with researchers noting that “greater wealth and economic development do not necessarily lead to greater mental health.”
The British charity Mind warns of a mental health crisis unfolding, especially among men and young people in the UK.
It’s not surprising that medical spas are booming in the UK “because the pressures are many, the money is scarce, the health system is groaning, the sea is full of waste, and the centres of our cities with all their closed shops and cruel dwellings are just another sign that the nation is struggling.”
“Sabine Labs”, which released the World’s Mental State Report, identified a link – not only in the UK, but globally – between poor mental health and the proliferation of smartphones and online communications.
The same is true of the fact that low-tech countries, such as Sri Lanka and Tanzania, are among those with better welfare scores. Strong family ties in those countries have also been associated with better mental health.
