9. Lao People’s Democratic Republic
Crude depression percentage: 3.2
Total cases: 209,326
The low rate of literacy of Lao people (77% of men and only 55.5% of woman are literate) and low income rates are probably the main reasons for depression rate in Lao. But Lao is on a great step to fight depression successfully, as seen this year on Lao People’s Democratic Republic World Health Day.
