5 Highest Paying Countries for Psychologists

4. Denmark

Average Salary: $75,360

In Denmark, mental health support is accessible through the universal healthcare system. Approximately 8% of the population experiences depression, and 15% of schoolchildren have received mental health treatment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of physical and mental well-being became evident, but discussions around these aspects often remain separate. Seeking mental health help in Denmark is akin to visiting a general practitioner for a physical checkup. Most of the time, diagnostic assessments occur within a month of referral, and treatment starts within one to two months, with walk-in locations for psychiatric care. Danish residents receive free and equal access to mental healthcare.
