STADA Health Report 2023: Mental Health of Europeans Is Improving
19. October 2023.

• 67 percent of Europeans rate their own mental health as “good” or even “very good”

• 1 in 2 Europeans willing to share their worries and fears either with friends and family (49 percent) or their partner (47 percent)

• STADA Health Report 2023: Representative survey with over 32,000 respondents from 16 European countries

STADA Health Report: Representative online study by Human8 on behalf of STADA.
Research time frame:
March-April 2023, UZB July 2023.
Sample: around 2,000 respondents each from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.
The fact that our mental well-being, just like our physical well-being, is very much dependent on continuous care and nurturing has gained ground in recent years. Europeans have gone through difficult times, but they seem to be on the mend: compared to 2022, the quality of mental health has improved by 10 percentage points across the continent. Today, 2 in 3 Europeans (67 percent) rate their mental health as “good” or “very good”.

Which Europeans are most satisfied?

Romania (86 percent) and Serbia (80 percent) are setting good examples – both have improved their mental health significantly compared to 2022 (Romania +15 percentage points, Serbia +22 percentage points). The lowest mental health ratings are found in Poland, the Czech Republic and the UK, where only 57 percent of people say their mental health is “good”. Still, none of the participating countries recorded a decline in mental health during the past year.

In comparison to women (62 percent), nearly 3 in 4 men (73 percent) describe their mental health as “good”. Mental health also seems to improve steadily with age: only 60 percent of 18-24-year-olds are satisfied with their mental health, while 82 percent of those over 70 are. Furthermore, a person’s financial situation significantly impacts their state of mind: of those who feel financially comfortable, 73 percent rate their mental health as good, compared to only 53 percent of those who are struggling.

Talking about fears and worries

Despite all improvements, there is still a number of topics that weigh heavily on people’s minds. The loss of a family member or friend (60 percent) tops the list for the majority of Europeans, followed by health issues (53 percent) and personal financial issues (50 percent). Wars and geopolitical conflicts are cause for concern for 45 percent, as is the general economic situation (38 percent). Overall, men are significantly less worried than women – even when it comes to the potential loss of a loved one or personal financial issues (both -10 percentage points compared to women).

Almost 1 in 2 Europeans share their worries and fears with their friends and family (49 percent) or their partner (47 percent). The younger they are, the more likely they are to turn to friends and family: 56 percent of 18-24-year-olds choose to confide in them, compared to only 40 percent of those over 70 years of age. Just over 1 in 10 discuss such issues with their General Practitioner (13 percent), and even fewer are willing to open up to a mental health professional (9 percent). Though generally rather unwilling to speak to anyone about what troubles them, the older generation is most likely to talk to their GP: 19 percent of Europeans over 70 years would do so, compared to only 7 percent of 18-24-year-olds.

Sleep quality on the rise despite crises

With the increase in mental health comes better quality of sleep – almost 7 in 10 (68 percent) say they sleep well at night, compared to 65 percent in 2022. Kazakhstan (87 percent, +16 percentage points vs 2022) and Serbia (77 percent, +7 percentage points vs 2022) are among those who improved over the last 12 months. In Uzbekistan, people also seem to get a good night’s sleep (87). The lowest self-reported sleep quality is found in the UK (59 percent), where people also struggle most with their mental health.
