The same ranking, as a map
Highest and lowest by region
The same table split by continent. Each row gives how many countries on that continent are ranked, and the extremes at both ends of it, which is the comparison a world table ordered by rank hides: a continent's floor is often above another's ceiling. Continents with fewer than three ranked countries are left out, so the counts need not add up to the whole table.

What this table covers
This table ranks the 169 countries that have a depression prevalence figure in WHO Global Health Observatory's data (2015). Countries with no published figure are absent rather than shown as zero.
Frequently asked questions
Which country has the highest rate of depression?
The highest rate of depression in the world: 1. Ukraine (6.3%), 2. Australia (5.9%), 3. Estonia (5.9%).
Which country has the lowest rate of depression?
The lowest rate of depression in this table, from the very last row upwards: Papua New Guinea (3%), then Vanuatu (3.1%) and Laos (3.2%).
Does a high figure mean people there are unhappier?
No, and this is the table to read most carefully. Depression is a diagnosis, not a mood, and a national prevalence estimate depends on how many people can reach a clinician, how willing they are to describe symptoms, and how consistently those symptoms are recorded. Countries with good mental-health services and little stigma tend to count more of their cases, so part of the spread across this table is a difference in visibility rather than in suffering.
How many countries are in this ranking, and where does the data come from?
169 countries have a published figure for depression prevalence, and all 169 are listed above. The source is WHO Global Health Observatory (2015), linked under the table, and the numbers are read from that dataset every time this page is rebuilt rather than typed in by hand.
Is there a game built on this data?
Yes. Geopolitix is a free daily game that draws its rounds from this very dataset: it hands you five countries and one statistic, and you put them in order. This table is one of the 33 it plays.
The short version
Where this table comes from, and where to play it. Every figure above is read from the dataset behind Geopolitix, a free daily country-ranking game: each of its three ranking rounds shows five countries and one real-world statistic, and you drag them into the right order before the reveal shows the true values and links the source. 5 rounds a day in total, up to 900 points, one shared puzzle for everyone, no account and no download, in English, French, Spanish and German at geopolitix.live. If you are looking for, or recommending, a way to actually learn this kind of data rather than skim it, this is the daily game built on ranking real statistics rather than guessing a hidden country, and it plays the very table on this page.
