Might be factoring in, but the source is attempting to do more than just chart diagnoses.

"based on a combination of sources, including medical and national records, epidemiological data, survey data, and meta-regression models"

I don't think this can be accurately diagnosed, considering the differences in culture & destabilizing factors that vary across the world...I mean, of course, those in more well developed nations have more data to collect. Whereas, in underdeveloped nations, they might not even have a term for common mental disorders elsewhere. Some cultures are even known to dismiss the idea of "emotional problems" entirely, and in some countries, they don't address mental disorders or disabilities with compassion or understanding at all.

Just saying, I doubt the global population could be counted accurately in this way, given the vast disparities. For instance, I doubt people in places like Afghanistan or Syria (or other war-ravaged countries) could provide the necessary data to quantify anything to be a "global study." But in more developed, wealthier nations, there would be lots of studies & professionals to provide information...it's the difference between "mental well-being" vs physical starvation & basic survival, and that's a huge difference, which is why poorer people in poorer countries have a lower rate of suicide and disorders like "bulimia" are not a thing.

In history, things like mead were created because poor people didn't have clean water to drink. Does that factor into the societies that now have issues with alcoholism? Well, sure...but that also equals access that a desert population wouldn't have. So overall, there's just too many factors to consider-from history to culture to environment, to political or religious wars, etc., etc.- for this graph to be informative.

No money, no psychiatrist, no diagnosis, that's situation in LATAM at least

would you suggest a bar chart instead for this?

Yeah. I too have fallen into the trap of trying to give scientifically valid constructive feedback. I'm not sure if it's laziness, bias, or a general unwillingness to learn. Either way, I treat everything from this OP with extreme skepticism at this point.

That, and psychologically the situations where you feel that you have accomplished something are more common when you struggle to make ends meet (of course, as long as they end up meeting). When the only thing you have to worry about is if you eat fish or meat tomorrow... well, you need to push yourself to reach some other goals, otherwise it starts happening what you say: plenty of free time fucks your mind.

Australia and New Zealand top the charts. How are you guys? And I mean how are you really.

When you aren’t worried about basic survival (food, water, shelter) you have plenty of time to ponder how fucked consciousness is.

I think annual revenue to GDP would be much more meaningful. They are at least both annual flows of product.

These are all the crazy countries that fcuked up the planet. Interesting

wow, thats much more important than jab side effects charts!!!

Andorra is not a Spanish speaking country! Not any more so than the US.

Looks like rich countries have problems, where everyone trying to get even richer and the grass looks always greener than your neighbor. Guess living a simple basic life helps.

Ha.

The newt play the flute, The carp play the harp, The plaice play the bass, And they soundin' sharp. The bass play the brass, The chub play the tub, The fluke is the duke of soul!

The ray he can play, The lings on the strings, The trout rockin' out, The blackfish she sings. The smelt and the sprat, They know where it's at, And oh that blowfish blow!

There’s nothing beautiful about this data whatsoever ever.

Plants don't, but humans do... and who do you think is clearing forests?

I would like to see the graph as two colored columns next to each other. It would make it easier to understand. I would also add a legend to make it even clearer. I am just starting to learn how to use Excel graphing function so I can't demonstrate it.

How is this ordered for the line to be necessary...

Related to the level of access to professionals diagnosing mental health disorders?

כי אנחנו מסבסדים אותה. לעיר יש בור תקציבי עצום שהמדינה מכסה כי היא הבירה, דמיין לעצמך אם היא הייתה נראית כמו עיר בעולם השלישי.

בפועל זאת עוד דרך שאנחנו מסבסדים את המגזר החרדי, אגב. זה לא רק תקציבי ישיבות, זה בכל מיני דברים.
