Denmark's suicide rate (per 100,000) has dropped significantly for the last 40 years.
1980: 32
1990: 24
2000: 14
2010: 11.8
2019: 10.7
The U.S., on the other hand, is now experiencing a suicide epidemic and has the highest rate among wealthy countries (at 13.9 in 2019), even surpassing countries like Finland (13.4 in 2019).
Probably because people want us to become like Denmark.

Not to mention the effect of living in a relatively UV-less country. Heavily confounded by many things, but SAD is definitely a thing. Yes, even if you're white as a ghost with ice-blue eyes.
With universal healthcare and even unemployment pay for quitting even if not fired through no fault?
So quitting jobs and switching when sad in Denmark doesn’t mean needing a 9 months rainy day fund
Now I feel sad we don’t have it as good as the Danes. They also get to work only like 30 hours per week and they get paid to stay home with their kid? It sounds incredible
It’s because they have a population that’s six times smaller than the State of Texas.
Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world.
Denmark is 99% white, despite being the seventh largest trading nation during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. If you study crime statistics as they relate to demographics, Denmark is not spending money fighting crime.
Bingo.
Every Scandinavian country, and most European countries are 90% white with strict immigration laws (developed homogenous societies). Not even an American could immigrate there without specialized skills and a sponsored visa.
This means less money fighting anti-assimilation, crime, “oppression,†woke, protests, looting, riots, “inequality,†racist highways, racist statues, racist food deserts, etc.
regular cup of coffee,which cost $1.50 here,dont know how much is it now as I drink coffee at home,,Swiss pays $5.
Their saving rate is quite high.
But it is not fair to compare USA wages with Denmark.
When I was in UK,back then US MCD has a deal for $3.75 (burger,fry and apple turnover),UK is GP 3.75 and back then it comes to over US$5.00
You wanna save money.dont eat at McDonald,once I had a fish sandwich,it tastes like I am eating a piece of cardboard coated with mayonaisse and thats $3.75.
I looked around and see what others are eating-a tiny beefburger,coke,fries and apple turnover, it is the carbos which make them feel full,not healthy.
Side question. Assuming you are still a citizen etc. how do they tax you for your work in the US?
They don't. I pay US taxes (quite a bit, I might add) and wish I had more to show for them, but that's of course my choice. I like California, so...
Anyway, Denmark doesn't care.
