U.K Is The 2nd Most Miserable Country In The World - MHQ Study Shows by WriterNig: 7:35pm On Mar 09


The ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 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."

LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL!!!!
the UK is not the greatest country out there, but to claim that its the most miserable, when we fully well know that there is at least 100countries where life is more miserable than the UK, is the joke of the day!!!

as for them having Brazil AND Australia in the bottom 6, is a confirmation that the people who did this study are out of the damn mind

Where you make money does not correlate with where you are happy.

Heck, are you happy all the time where you work?

It's because dis country have a working system to check their mental health now.... Nigeria wey be say u fit see 20 mad men and women for one local government area wey dey waka for streets.....

In fact any local government I see mad people roaming around, I jst jump to d conclusion that all of them in dat community are mad including d governor and local government chairman....

Also any community or state I see children begging or roaming around during sch hours I immediately jump into d conclusion that d state governor and local government chairman needs serious mental care....

I won't say dis list is wrong but if they want to know d true meaning of misery they should come to Nigeria... It all started in 2015 when a cattle rearer promised us change angry

They don't have their priorities right.

Brats spoilt silly whine when their milkshakes are not cold enough.

They should try a place where even clean water is unavailable to drink.
