My takeaway: Be More Line Norway, with its higher susceptibility to seasonal affected disorder but low meds usage. It makes me think they’re doing something right.
More like a chart than a guide… still interesting, though
This is such annoying chart. It implies that that these countries on top have more depressed people, but it correlates more accurately with how accessible the antidepressants are
Russia is just using Vodka.
I don’t think it was designed to imply that. None of the language appears to steer the viewer to a specific conclusion, letting the viewer interpret it for themselves.
That being said, I would agree that the data itself represents both access to mental health care and culture (specifically, if that culture has a stigma against it).
I think some of the larger countries are not really useful in the dataset though. I’m curious how say, California and say, Alabama, would look in the dataset.
I don’t think it was designed to imply that.
Are you suggesting that “Antidepressant Consumption” just accomplishes the goal of implying people are more depressed accidentally, then? It’s very effective, even if it tries to hide behind language.
Considering that 100+ is red, most is orange, low is yellow, it looks like “look these are the bad countries with depressed people”.
