Mental health challenges are experienced very differently worldwide. Antidepressant use is not just a reflection of individual well-being but also a product of broader societal and environmental influences.

Australia has a very high awareness and accessibility to mental health services. Societal perspectives on mental health may influence whether people choose to seek help.

Universal healthcare or insurance coverage can lead to easier access to the medication.

I do note Iceland has a much higher obesity rate than the rest of Europe but not like the 70% we seen in Aus and US.
