Depression, a debilitating mental health condition that impacts millions worldwide, is a multifaceted problem compounded by social stigma, lack of access to medical help, and the varying degrees to which it can affect individuals. Recent data on global depression rates reveal a pervasive issue that resonates across cultural, geographical, and socio-economic boundaries.
Leading the roster of the most depressed countries is Ukraine, with a depression rate of an alarming 6.3%. Worryingly close behind are the United States, Australia, and Estonia, each with a depression rate of 5.9%. Brazil follows next with a slightly lower but still substantial depression rate of 5.8%.
