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."

Our insane environment is the output of insane minds.
Everything you see around you once existed in someone’s mind.
Restoring sanity requires flogging until the madness flees.
Sadly the developers, builders and rogue planning approval personnel don’t get to bear the direct consequences.
Gistmedia10: The Lagos State Government's enforcement of building regulations has led to the demolition of several houses in the Eti-Osa area. The demolition, carried out by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), is part of a wider effort to sanitize the built environment and ensure compliance with safety standards.
Reports from the scene in Eti-Osa reveal a significant number of houses being brought down, with LASBCA officials and demolition equipment working tirelessly to clear the area. The affected houses are said to have been constructed without proper approvals, violating building codes and posing potential risks to residents.
Brandiebird: Instead of imagining backwards and feeling regret, imagine forward with feelings of hope. Imagination is the building blocks of creation. Imagine your future success, then turn that dream into a goal, then turn that goal into a plan and that’s how dreams come true. Motivational speech 101!
Nothing happens without first happening first in the imagination.
tyup: Seek God. He's the only one who has got the power to make you Rich.
Deuteronomy 8:18 New King James Version (NKJV) “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
I told my wife last week not to worry. She came to me shouting that noodles price has increased and they are planning to increase a sachet of pure water to #100. I told her that it is the producers and sellers that will suffer it. Once value drops on these goods, the prices will come down automatically.
The people I pity the most are the pure water manufacturers thinking of increasing price. Water that can be got anyhow. People will drink any water to survive, and the demand for pure water will reduce drastically. By the time the consumers are done with them, a sachet of pure water will sell for as low as #5.

Na only primitive and archaic men dey do that kind thing.. Opening store for your sister and sponsoring you in school I dey mad Most women think they can use their vagina to escape poverty
Watching porn and masturbation goes together like peas in a pod. Masturbation is the most reliable instant gratification a person can achieve almost free of charge.
Has it ever occurred to you why porn is so goddamn free and accessible? Have you wondered why countries hardly ever blocked porn sites? How many people do you know that watch porn with VPN? The answer is a resounding 0! Even in the most religious Arab country, porn is free to access.
These days, on social media and almost every thread has a porn star or wannabe that will pollute the thread with their nudity, both men and women. The world just goes on like kids don't have access to this but you see that activity that brings life, the power to which we as humans don't fully understand, is being corrupted for the sole reason of making men weak. You sef think am now!
Men are now at their weakest. The elite are ensuring mean are weak sexually and mentally, two things the structurally define a man. You can imagine heading to apps like Bigo Live or Buzzcast only to find your average innocent next door girl live streaming her nudity and teasing men who in turn gift her money for visual gratification. I hear every day, more and more young girls are into this and weak men are financing this madness. It is impossible to be a registered member of these sites and connect your wallet or bank account to fund it to gift women money for flashing sensitive body parts without being a porn addict firstly. Same with Onlyfans and Allaccessfans for those abroad.
A lot of us are porn addicts but prefer to deny it or ignore the fact and be like "I watch porn, so? I go still dey watch am dey go". It is better to get your dopamine from other sources than masturbation. Every time a man orgasms, the energy release is 5 times stronger than a woman's. I'm not talking about flesh pleasures but pure energy. There's a good reason a woman can orgasm 5 times in one hour for the next 6 hours if she has a stallion guy or a sex machine. Women can masturbate for 3 hours if they're home alone. No man can try this. They will move his corpse out if he tries it.
Everything must be done in moderation with the application of wisdom. You might come online to call men simps but you yourself are a simp and you know it deep down. You're getting weaker daily and porn is ruining your cognitive function, your relationships, in fact, your whole life.
Tell me one reasonable purpose of porn if you can think of one.
In my opinión, a long distance relationship is like dating a ghost.
BeautifulSolace: I've been dating my boyfriend since 2021, and he's a good person whom I trust because he doesn't hide anything from me. Last year, he traveled to Lagos, creating a long-distance relationship. Despite not having evidence of cheating and maintaining strong communication, I often worry that all men can't stay without sex.
Namaster: We later resolved our family issues with my husband and asked me to return to my matrimonial home. I even promised not to have an extramarital affair with the man again. On the day of the incident, Ishaya came to take me out again, but couldn't meet me at home at that time", Libiyatu further narrated.
NEVER take back a cheating woman. Only a man with no self-respect or dignity will take back a woman who has gobbled the diiick of another man.
In fact if your wife comments that a celebrity on TV is sexy while she's with you, send her packing.
Never mind that you'll be accused of insecurity or immaturity. That's how they get men to play their games.
Check your wife's phone as much as you like. If she has a problem with it, send her packing.
Whatever you do, NEVER tolerate cheating or the appearance of cheating. You could be saving your life.
EnglishUsa: I always tell people to limit their speeding on cars, but they won't listen 👂... Speed don't help anything in driving of cars in Nigeria. A car travelling from Lagos to abuja with the speed of 130 and a car travelling from Lagos to abuja with the speed of 50, do not be surprised that a car running on speed of 130 will stop at ondo to eat and only for you to wash your hands to start eating and you will see the driver that is running 50 from Lagos will come in immediately to eat... The speed at night is something else, I don't know where they are rushing to, I don't know if they are rushing for emergency or someone called them that someone is dieing. May his soul rest in peace
SOLUDO INSPECTS ONGOING/COMPLETED PROJECTS AT OKPOKO OGBARU AND NIGER STREET FEGGE
Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo on Wednesday, March 5t , 2024 during his routine project inspection visited Obodoukwu Road Okpoko, Coke market Ogbaru Local Government Area and Niger Street, Fegge, Onitsha South LGA.
Obodoukwu Road: He commended the new Construction Company handling the Obodoukwu Road project for their steadfast and swift work which indicates the project will be delivered at record time.
He reiterate his resolve to transforming Okpoko from a slum to an enviable habitat.
Coke Market: Soludo who had initiated talks between government representatives and displaced Coke Market earlier promised them the market could be opened if the traders will play their part.
Having fulfilled his promise to restore the traders back to the market, Mr Governor urged them to ensure they keep the market environment clean as his government is committed to sustaining clean, prosperous, livable, and secured Anambra.
Niger Street: Mr Governor commended the people to take responsibility and protect or report damages to any government projects done in their neighborhood.
He added that the government will consider building barricades that will prevent sand miner’s heavy trucks that have damaged the road access to the road.
He further highlighted that traders are henceforth prohibited from shading their wares on the sidewalks made for pedestrians.
guobe: A colleague of mine was telling me recently how his friend who just travelled to Canada and in Canada did a six months Psychology programme got employed by a Company over there.
The work of the Company is to assist vulnerable people especially those ones that are suicidal.
He said the pay is quite good and in just few hours being with your client you can earn like 400 dollars.
He said this his friend has wife and kids in Nigeria who will be relocating soon to Canada and that there was this Nigerian client who is a woman in Canada that was having suicidal thoughts and wanted to even kill her child that the Government had to take the child away from her.
He said he felt maybe it's Ogbanje that is worrying the woman but Oyibo people don't know what is Ogbanje.
The Company told my colleagues friend to do like an undercover blind date and meet up with the woman which he did and that he actually met the woman and even slept with her to make her happy.
In my mind I was just wondering that things de really happen for life.
Are psychologist known to sleep with their clients? That is the way the psychologist of omahlay slept with him too.
emperor4love: De cleaner is only witness who can save her unless that was a setup nd she fall fr it, first u don't rush someone when such happens, there are some transferable disease like epilepsy, first know de history to the seizure or faint...I knw Nigeria are good hearted but don't fall to such but on that if it was mob that or crowd the case won't be lik this just she took it upon her sef nd that de result
Sctests: And if you don't pay, you go to jail abi? Double jeopardy. Marriage in the UK does not look attractive. Many ladies will die single in this generation.
fergie001: A former Special Adviser on Digital Media to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari has urged aides of President Bola Tinubu to amplify the numerous achievemnts of previous Governments rather than elaborate on their failures.
You are the final authority in your own life. Every decision you make, you will bear the consequences directly, not your mother, not the people on nairaland.
Ask the Christ within you for clarity. It always hears and always answers.
sammymax: I seriously need advice as I really don't know what the right or best thing to do at this time. Please elders in the house be kind enough to suggest what I could do.
I did not think something like this can still happen in this era but this is what I have to deal with. So my mum flat out told me she does not like the girl I took home because she is not fine. About 3years ago when we went home together she told me this but I just disregarded it like when I'm ready she won't have a choice but to accept her as she is. To be honest she is not fine at all but she gives me peace of mind which I feel is the ultimate.
She was involved in an accident with my dad last year and we lost my dad in the process. During the burial I went home with my babe again and my mum still made her displeasure with the girl show.
The thing now is that I went home again to see how she is doing and she called to speak me again after stating that I had disobeyed her by not breaking up with the girl she said is still not having her and if I insist she is the one I should count her out of the marriage. She can never come visiting or even call her. She will not attend the wedding. Now I am 32 and she is 30
How do I navigate this situation. I plead for good advice. Have you been in a similar situation how did you handle it.
