description In this study, we examined emotional distress using annual representative survey data from 1.53 million individuals surveyed in 113 countries from 2009 to 2021. Participants reported whether they had experienced worry, sadness, stress, or anger during a lot of the previous day. Within-country estimates showed that the prevalence of feelings of emotional distress increased from 25 to 31% between 2009 and 2021, with those with low levels of education and income experiencing the largest increases in distress. On a global level, the pandemic period was characterized by an initial increase in distress in 2020 followed by recovery in 2021.
