Yeah all the "least depressed" countries are either minuscule and/or lacking sophisticated, comprehensive medical systems.

I think if we had perfect data, there'd be a strong correlation between sunlight hours and lower depression rates. It's one of the few real factors for alleviating mild-moderate depression. Stuff like living standards has very little relation to actual clinical depression.
