Mental illness affects us all

Chilling out in Copenhagen, Denmark. The World Happiness Report 2013 finds that Danes are among the happiest people on Earth.

Even the happiest country on Earth is not spared the spectre of mental disorders.

WHICH is the happiest nation on the planet? Fans of The Killing, an American crime drama television series, may be surprised to learn that it is Denmark. Nordic noir offers us a claustrophobic country shrouded in fog and lashed by icy rain, stalked by serial killers and riddled with corruption: a land from which noble souls such as Sarah Lund are compelled to flee, never to be seen again.
