Introduction

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.

Ukraine tops the list with the highest rate of depression at 6.3%. High-income countries like the United States, Australia, and Estonia closely follow with a depression rate of 5.9%.
The nations with the lowest depression rates are primarily located in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, with Solomon Islands at 2.9%, Timor Leste at 3.0%, and Papua New Guinea at 3.0%.
Many western, developed nations - such as the United States, Australia, and Germany - appear in the top 25% for depression rates.
There is a clear diversity in the range of depression rates worldwide, from Ukraine's high of 6.3% to Solomon Islands' low of 2.9%.
Notably, many nations with ongoing or recent conflicts, such as Afghanistan (3.3%), Iraq (3.7%), and Syria (3.9%), show lower depression rates than might be expected. This could point to underreporting or inadequate mental health resources in these regions.
