After reading this article online I had to post it. Its the results of a study in which you'll find very shocking results. BATON ROUGE is the 5th Happiest City in the nation. Shockingly enough, SHREVEPORT, comes in at number 14. But I guess it's not sooooooo surprising though when you have a city with people like me in it. I get excited over a new toothbrush.
Now TEXAS... apparently has a LOT of people who get excited over new toothbrushes because three of it's cities placed in the top four. Most of the cities in the Most Depressed list are not surprising... I mean... who can really be excited about living in
Tampa Florida... with all those gorgeous beaches and stuff. *yes I was being sarcastic* And apparently people in Arizona don't like brushing their teeth because three of their cities tied for 7th place.
Men's Health compiled this list based on antidepressant sales, courtesy of NDC Health; suicide rates, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the number of days inhabitants reported being depressed, based on the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
