Happiness improves - but depression lurks
Stacy Shi
Two-thirds of Hongkongers show moderate to severe depressive symptoms, despite people in general being happier than four years ago, a social enterprise's survey has found.
A separate study by the University of Hong Kong shows 29 percent of respondents aged 60 and above reported feelings of loneliness during Covid's fifth wave.
HK.WeCARE, after asking 1,147 people aged above 12 between August 5 and 18, said this year's happiness index was 6.59 out of 10, slightly higher than 6.54 in 2018.
