That doesn't account for why things have got worse.

  But has it actually got worse? ;) I mean, yes in recent times, according to the methodology used by these academics, specifically relative to other countries. But that's pretty specific. As others said, maybe other countries have improved relatively? What's the take-away form all this? To me, loneliness is the biggest issue. We can all deal with a lot of cr*p in our lives if we've got supportive friends, and we can all be much happier by helping others who need it . Its very satisfying.

    > But has it actually got worse? US life expectancy is going down, so yeah some things really are getting worse. Life expectancy is going up in almost all other countries.
