List of Countries with the Highest Rate of Depression
- VIVA/CPI 2017
VIVA – The World Health Organization (WHO) tracks depression rates from around the world. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that depression and other mental health conditions are vastly underreported around the globe. Cultural biases, social stigma, and a lack of access to screening and treatment can all influence rates of underreporting.
Then, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered other health crises such as a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. According to WHO, the mental health of young people, women, and health workers has been particularly hard hit.
Countries with the highest rates of depression include some small and low-income countries in Asia such as Brunei, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, and Mali, where less than 2.5% of the population is reported to have depressive disorders.
