The UK has landed in second place for the most miserable country in the world.
With house prices skyrocketing and the cost-of-living crisis still in full swing, it’s no wonder why Britain probably isn’t one of the most desirable places to be at the minute.
Data was collected via the Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) assessment, with scores ranging from -100 to 200.
Scores under zero represent ‘distressed or struggling’, between zero and 50 meant ‘enduring’ while between 50 and 100 meant ‘managing’ and scores between 100 and 200 meant ‘succeeding or thriving’.
Out of 71 countries surveyed, the UK took the 70th spot overall for mental wellbeing.
The country has been classified as ‘distressed or struggling’, after scoring 49 in comparison to the average global score of 65.
Of the people who took part in the UK, 35 percent said they were ‘struggling’ with their wellbeing.
Those at the bottom of the ranking were Brazil, South Africa, the UK and Uzbekistan.
The study stated: “Overall, the insights in this report paint a worrying picture of our post-pandemic prospects.
“We urgently need to better understand the drivers of our collective mental wellbeing, such that we can align our ambitions and goals with the genuine prosperity of human beings.”
