The Global Mind Health Report 2025, released by Sapien Labs, highlights growing concerns about mental well-being across countries. The report surveyed individuals in 84 nations and evaluated mental health using the Mental Health Quotient (MHQ), a composite index measuring 47 cognitive, emotional, and social indicators. According to the report, Indian youth aged 18–34 rank 60th globally, with an average MHQ score of around 33, placing them in the category of “distressed or struggling.” In contrast, Indians aged above 55 recorded a much higher score of 96, indicating a significant generational gap in mental health.
The report identifies several factors responsible for declining mental well-being among young people. These include early exposure to smartphones, increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods, weakening family relationships, and a declining sense of purpose or spirituality. Interestingly, countries with lower income levels such as Tanzania, Nigeria, and Ghana scored better than many developed economies, suggesting that economic growth alone does not guarantee stronger mental health outcomes.
