10:45 “stroke” means brain stroke, and the link among all those “stroke countries” is a high consumption of sodium (i. e., common table salt) per capita and a relatively large proportion of aged population compared to other countries.

it's really interesting how a lot of countries with very high depression rates have less suicides and vice versa. that's probably cause the depression map, at least in most places shows the amount of people who get diagnosed with depression and actually get treated for it. for example, Poland has low depression rates because many people would rather kill themselves than see a therapist and get diagnosed.

Greenland is a very depresssing and interesting case when it comes to depression. It has one of the highest suicidal rates in the world with 86 per 100k in 2016, which it has had for the last 40 years because of the modernization of the Island from Denmarks goverment, making the local inhabitants losing their identity and values. And when newer generations are born, I think the coldness and lonelines causes such high numbers

[@MilnaAlen]

I saw a documentary that talked about what a horrible problem with child sexual abuse Greenland has, which absolutely contributes to depression and alcoholism there :( But yeah, Denmark's policies are definitely to blame that it's happening, though language barrier and lack of social workers etc. willing to live there doesn't help.

[@flex8981]

The depression map is a misleading one to put it nicely. Higher percentage of ‚depression‘ (definition?) or use of antidepressants doesn‘t necessarily mean actual higher depression or life-dissatisfaction. Acceptance of depression, easiness of antidepressant prescription, trustworthiness of national statistics concerning the topic (depression is seen as something negative, which governments like to hide, some more than others + different capacities to collect such information) definition of ‚depression’ in different countries (international studies most often take national data, and methods, diligence and honesty in taking the data nationally vary strongly. It also depends what kind of depression it is and from what point on ‚sadness’ is nationally classified as ‚depression‘...) Also less stigmatization and higher acceptance of depression normally means more clinical depression, which means more medically attested, ‚official‘, depression, but not necessarily actual depression. Also weather, maybe even ethnicity and other non-cultural factors play an important role. AND concerning the correlation the video suggests, depression doesn‘t necessarily mean not being happy. It can, but often doesn‘t or only temporarily means it. So I would take the map with a lot of salt. East Asia never in the world has the lowest depression rates for example. It is a good reminder to always critically question data sets, even more so those comparing completely different contexts.

That road fatalities map is almost definitely highly skewed towards countries with bad healthcare, not just bad roads.

Regarding "one in every twenty drivers is dying" in Africa. No, these countries suffer from chronic overcrowding of motor vehicles. Those photos of entire families perched atop a single motor cycles are about as unsafe as they look. Look into how many people are crammed into minivan taxis in south Africa.
