Sri Lanka among world’s least miserable nations – New report

INTRODUCTION As of 2010, there were 45,159 Sri Lankans living in the US. Substantial immigration began in the 1990s when many fled the violence of the Sri Lankan Civil War. The majority of Sri Lankan-Americans live in the vicinity of either New York City (where there’s a Little Sri Lanka on Staten Island), central New Jersey, or Los Angeles.

Sri Lanka is among the world’s least miserable nations, as per the 2023 Mental State of the World Report by Sapien Labs.

Sri Lanka ranks as the world’s 2nd highest in Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) with a score of 89.

The Dominican Republic leads the list, while Tanzania, Panama, and Malaysia round off the top five.

Only 14% of Sri Lanka’s population reports feeling distressed or struggling, the lowest globally.

According to the report, this is in stark contrast to countries like Brazil, South Africa, and the UK, where up to 35% face mental health challenges.
