India Ranks 60th in Youth Mental Well-Being: Sapien Labs Report

Published on: February 28 2026 Share on facebook

  • India’s young adults have ranked 60th among 84 countries in mental well-being, according to the ‘Global Mind Health in 2025’ report by Sapien Labs. The study surveyed over 78,000 internet-enabled Indians and assessed mental health using the Mind Health Quotient (MHQ), which evaluates 47 cognitive, emotional, social, and physical indicators.
  • Individuals aged 18–34 recorded an average MHQ score of 33, while those aged 55 and above scored 96, ranking 49th globally. Researchers described this disparity as a structural, multi-year generational shift rather than a temporary post-pandemic impact.
  • Key contributors to declining youth mental health include weaker family bonds, higher consumption of ultra-processed food, and early smartphone exposure. About 44% of young adults reported regular intake of ultra-processed food, compared to 11% among older adults. Globally, youth in developed nations such as Japan and the United Kingdom ranked lower, while countries like Ghana performed relatively better.
