UK Named 2nd Most Miserable Country in 2023 Wellbeing Report

The UK ranked 2nd most miserable country in the world in a 2023 mental wellbeing report, with lower scores than pre-pandemic levels.

Over 1/3 of UK respondents said they were struggling with their mental wellbeing.

Young adults, poorer families, and those eating highly processed foods reported worse mental health.

The most miserable country was Uzbekistan, while poorer African and Latin American countries had higher wellbeing.

Possible reasons for UK misery include COVID, cost of living, lack of trust in government, and early smartphone use.
