Am I missing something fundamental here?
Is depression diagnoses really so objective that we can not only compare diagnosis rates across the country, but across the world? Sort of like comparing how good the pizza is in countries across the world, is it not?
It doesn't seem like this analysis holds much value, if any.

- harvestmoon 13y ago10% of Americans are on antidepressants. I really hope that rate isn't consistent around the world.
