For anyone not from Scandinavian countries or not used to the low sunlight and mostly cold weather, the downsides from the long-term side-effects of living in Sweden such as depression, low vitamin-D state significantly outweighs any short-term happiness.

Most people, even those close to the arctic circle have sufficient vitamin D levels in Sweden [1].

Regarding depression, it would be great If you could state a source for the claim that long term residency in Sweden creates depression.
