          People are depressed in Korea, not that it is depressing to visit.

            And even then Korea doesn’t even break the top 10 in suicide per capita. Having more diagnosed depression is hardly a worthwhile stat when that depends more on the availability of doctors and psychologist to make the diagnosis.
