UK Ranks Near Bottom in Global Happiness Study, Trailing War-Torn Nations

The UK ranked as the 2nd most miserable country in the world in a recent report by Sapien Labs, scoring lower than war-torn Ukraine and Yemen
The report gave countries a "Mental Health Quotient" score based on survey data; the UK scored 49 out of 200
Wealthier Western countries tended to score poorly compared to less developed nations, suggesting wealth doesn't equal happiness
Factors influencing lower scores included smartphone use, processed foods, fraying relationships
The UK is facing economic woes like high inflation and low trust in government post-Brexit, which may impact scores
