A new study was recently released, which examined the mental health of individuals located in counties all throughout the United States, to determine which counties may be the "healthiest" in the US.
As the New York Post describes, "As part of the larger study, each of the nearly 3,000 counties in the fifty states were also very specifically scored on a scale of 0-100 based on how they fared when researchers looked at suicide death rates, deaths of despair (such as drug overdose or alcohol related), reports of mental distress in adults and depression diagnoses among Medicare beneficiaries."
The results were as follows:
