Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississipi, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma,Tennessee and West Virginia.

Do they all have high unemployment by chance?

[who knows what evil?]

Tennessee? LOL...that’s why so many people are moving INTO the state...it’s a depressing sh*thole...LOLOL!

You know, I gotta be somewhat skeptical, especially since an accompanying article in this magazine is entitled: "10 Dating Tips for People With Inflammatory Bowel Disease". Just sayin'.

According to these experts, I live in one of the most depressing states, have a profession where depression is significant among the practitioners, and am not going to live much longer. I am glad I don’t listen to the so called experts because if I did I’d be in a nut house sustaining on welfare. This health care site is as FOS as a Christmas turkey.

Obviously, if liberalism was classified as a mental disorder as it should be, this list would look very different.

[KarlInOhio]

Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, ... and West Virginia.

Maybe Ohio causes depression in neighboring states. Come one Pennsylvania, you just need to realize that life stinks and get down about it.

WJAT?!!!

They missed a chance to bash Alabama?

Amazing.

Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississipi, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma,Tennessee and West Virginia.

Obvious: Michigan and Nevada.

Surprising: Oklahoma and Tennessee.

[Duchess47]

Nevada is NOT a depressing state.

[blueunicorn6]

They’re happy in California!
“Wheeeeee!!!!! I’m unemployed and Jerry Brown is my governor! Wheeeeee!!!!!”

Oklahoma

Just seeing that is enough for me to not even bother reading the liberal trash in the "report". The 2008 presidential election map shows a state that voted 100% against Obama in every single county:

Although I'm in Texas and we have a good-natured rivalry with our neighbors across the Red River, for the most part Oklahomans are pro-God, pro-gun, pro-military and on the side individual liberty. As a Right to Work state, Oklahomans are on the side of freedom unlike the really depressing states shown in yellow:

One more plus accrues to our Sooner friends:

Sings such as this are found throughout Oklahoma at the filling stations. They haven't bought into the ethanol scam.

Oklahoma is OK!

[SoJoCo]

If Missouri is depressed now wait’ll their football team goes O for 2012 against their new SEC conference mates.

[Dr. Sivana]

It looks like most of these states are near the same east west latitude, all touching each other, except Nevada. Strange. Maybe people like mountains or oceans around.

[Joe 6-pack]

Interesting that so many of these are landlocked states. 22 Of our states have ocean/gulf coastlines, with an additional seven on the great lakes. Only 3 of these 10 (30%) (MS, IN MI) fall into either category and of those MS and IN have only very limited coastal or lake access.

Just a personal theory; I know for me, time on or near the water tends to relieve a lot of stress.

I see the writer has never driven the PA Turnpike.

[Huck]

TN??? You’ve got to be kidding.

[bigbob]

This, despite many having a moderate climate, right-to-work status, and generally considered more “business friendly” than the Great White North...Flyover Country, or the east and west coast population centers.

[maryz]

I clicked through to see what methodology was used to determine this. Doesn’t seem to be one . . .

[LibLieSlayer]

While ALL of America suffers obamadamage... MISSISSIPPI is a fine State... with a republican government for the first time in 145 years... and we will make things more Conservative and better for all Conservatives... I hope we make the libtards so mad that they leave our State!
