5. State of Palestine

Depression In Percentage of Population: 5.75%

The State of Palestine is a Western Asian state. It has been the source of constant conflict for decades. Palestine has a mere $19.8 billion GDP in real terms and a low per capita income of $3,517. Additionally, Palestine’s Gaza Strip has some of the worst living conditions in the world, with poor water infrastructure and a constant blockade by its neighbors. As a result, it’s unsurprising that the State of Palestine ranks fifth on our list of the world’s most depressed countries.
