Every Country by Stress Level

In this video, we show how stress levels vary across countries around the world using an animated world map. Discover where people report experiencing the most stress, compare countries across different regions, and explore how daily stress varies around the globe. From countries with relatively low reported stress to those where a larger share of people experience stressful days, the map reveals a fascinating picture of global emotional wellbeing. This video is based on publicly available international survey data from Gallup, including research published in the State of the World’s Emotional Health report. The comparison focuses on the percentage of people who reported experiencing stress during a large part of the previous day. The data reflects survey responses from the relevant reporting period and does not necessarily represent stress levels in 2026 itself. Reported stress is a measure of people's own experiences, not a medical diagnosis or a direct measure of a country's overall quality of life. Stress can be influenced by many factors, and country-level results do not reflect how every individual feels. The goal of this video is to visualize global differences in reported stress through a clear and engaging world map animation.
