A new report reveals a significant impact of the pandemic on global mental wellbeing. The Global Mind Project's "Mental State of the World" report, based on surveys from over 400,000 people in 71 countries, shows a decline in mental health since 2020. In 2019, the nonprofit neuroscience research organization Sapien Labs began releasing its yearly Global Mind Project.

The study uses a Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) to assess various aspects of mental health. Participants are categorized based on their scores, ranging from "thriving" to "distressed."


In the rankings for 2023, the Dominican Republic topped the list with the highest average MHQ (91), followed by Sri Lanka(89) and Tanzania (88). Conversely, Uzbekistan had the lowest average MHQ (48), with the UK following closely at 49.



This indicates a 14.3% disparity between the top and bottom ranked countries on the MHQ scale. Overall, English-speaking South Asia, Russian-speaking Central Asia, and nations in the Core Anglosphere ranked in the bottom third, while Spanish-speaking Latin American nations made up the top half of the rankings.



Here's a breakdown of the top 10 happiest and unhappiest countries:​

The strangest thing in the world I find is that almost everyone I know who lived in the UK temporarily whether it was for school or work, 100 % of them say they would never live there again. They all say never like it and wouldn't recommend it. They never stated specifically why, but it was more the totality of the experience of living there. The impression I got is that you had to live there to understand where they were coming from.

I actually landed at Heathrow this morning and I felt like I was in India.or somewhere in Africa. Nothing against immigrants but immigrants run the UK. I got picked up by a very chatty Indian guy driving Tesla...wheather was shit. No rain but cold wind. Hotel won't check you in until your actual check in time (3 PM). Not my kind of country and can't wait till I leave on Wednesday.
