1. India
The number one on our list of the most depressed countries in the world in 2017 is India, which is home to the world’s largest democracy. According to the World Health Organization, over 50 million people suffer from depression in India! 50 million people! That figure is incredibly hard to fathom. Poverty is one of the primary reasons for depression in a country where a significant population lives well below the poverty line. While India is fighting hard to become one of the top economies in the world, as well as spending billions of dollars on weapons and its army, maybe it would do well to spare some money to improve the standard of the living in the country.
