Wow, bullshit headline.
Literally in the article it says that happiness and antidepressant usage doesn’t correlate
Very interesting article
I know this data doesn’t define happiness, but I’m really surprised to see iceland that high up. Perhaps the cold winters really take their toll?
There is never one answer to these things but Seasonal affective disorder could be a factor.

It is commonly, but not always, associated with the reductions or increases in total daily sunlight hours that occur during the summer or winter.
This is just a stab in the dark, but it seems to me like it’s possible that Icelanders are happier on average because the depressed ones are getting the medicine they need
I guessed the UK. Because it’s shit here and getting worse
Then I was surprised to see it wasn’t, then saw that race chart, which showed us leading in 2017 and then just stopped? So we stopped prescriptions in 2017?
Doubt.
Data scientists got too depressed to continue gathering data in the UK.
