The above gives us an indication of the mental health of the nation. If innate needs — the human givens — are not being met, which the survey is designed to find out, people are likely to be stressed and frustrated which can develop into anxiety or anger disorders, depression and, in some people, lead to psychotic episodes and more serious mental breakdowns.
