Really interesting. Traditionally Western countries seem to be the majority of the mental illness. I wonder why? Lack of happiness? Too much technology? Anti-Social behaviors?

Results dont surprise me, but then again im quite educated in this area.
The bad part is that in the "West" even though there is a good amount of help available after the illness sets in (if you are lucky, get help).
they dont address how to reduce or prevent before hand. They wont bother addressing how society/culture/technology/etc influence this.

A lot of these mental illnesses are over diagnosed it seems.

Well, I don't think that mentall illnesses are well diagnosed in third world countries. Also, although the majority of people wouldn't guess, a shitload of mental disorders are genetically predestined and just get triggered, so I wouldn't think it is a society thing. Though depressions are cool and edgy

Other edgy pretence: dyslexia.

Afghanistan, Bolivia, Morocco have higher rates than many 1st World countries, based on that map.

The west (at least the US) is very fast to put people on all sorts of mind altering medications. Doctors pass out pills like its candy. Its fucked up.
