Depression is a condition that affects many individuals. In the United States, 18.4% of adults have been diagnosed with depression, but do we know what the most depressed states are? Yes, we know, and this is what we want to do today: present you with the most depressed states and what makes the people who live there predisposed to getting this diagnostic.

Do these states have something in common? Also, does money have any implication in this? Why are the retirees living there not so happy with their lives? On the other hand, we also want to see what the happiest states are and what makes them so good.

So, read on and find out what the most depressed states are. Are you living in any of these states?

    Why would you take some of the happiest States and rank them as the most unhappy States? Your information is backwards. New York is most depressed State and on the verge of Collapse. California is Second most depressed State and on the verge of collapse. In fact, John Carpenters, Escape from New York and then Escape from L.A. is based on trues stories that hadn’t happened yet. They are happening now. People go to places like Tennessee because people are happy and the the left policies haven’t reached them and destroyed them.

    California the happiest state in America? I seriously doubt it. It has the most socialist controlling government, record crime in San Fran and LA, record homelessness, and has over a million illegals running free all over southern Cali. Over a million former Californians have left in the last 2 years looking to go somewhere, almost anywhere else. Most went to Texas looking for freedom. Your conclusions that places like Tennessee are less happy based on less available mental health care is flawed. Life is a little slower and there is much less stress in Tennessee and West Virginia for that matter. Yes wages are lower there than Cali or New Jersey, but so is the cost of living. There’s only 2 reasons I’d want to be in Cali., the weather and the beach, other than that, it sucks…..

    My husband and I retired here in Bowling Green, Ky 17yrs ago and have never been happier! We live 5 min. from a state park and bought a canoe to watch sunsets on the lake. It’s gorgeous, people are sincerely very kind and help one another. There are as many shops here as there were in CA. and the healthcare is very good.
    We spent 47 yrs as native Californians. CA is a beautiful state but so over populated and more people than not are very calloused to other’s needs. The only reason that we go back is to see our adult son.
    The best thing a couple can do when they retire especially if they value their privacy, alot of adventures, sports and if you want great nightlife, Tennessee’s just not far. There is wonderful wildlife, as well as fantastic waterfalls. Ky is the best!

    The American Dream! Most cities and even small communities are blighted with crime and fentanyl addiction. The cost of living is sky rocketing. Americans are paying billions for a failed attempt at regime change in Russia, via a war in Ukraine, meanwhile the dollar is going South and poverty is exploding. Open borders allow hordes of undocumented illegals to stream in, including criminals and violent gang members. Their geriatric President is pushing the country towards nuclear war with Russia…and nobody it seems can get help with being totally depressed! If I were an American I´d be depressed too.
