I'll bet it was based on sunny days or some shit.
Actually, it's based on anti-depressant sales (or lack thereof).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I never in my wildest dreams would've imagined that one of the hap-hap-happiest places in the US would be Jersey City.
Dude. Their methods are suspect. El Paso.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Well it could be that in Texas people are more macho and therefor less likely to take antidepressants.
I would tend to think in blue states folks would be more likely to take antidepressants.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm wondering if El Paso isn't so much undepressed as unmedicated.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Does that include off-label usage?

Considering the economics of El Paso, and that I heard this am that Texas has the highest number of employed people without health insurance, I'm betting the low sales have more to do with poverty (as well as cultural attitudes.) OH! And also? That close to the border, a lot of people go to Mexico to get cheap prescription meds.
Stupid headline writers.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was thinking the same thing. Low antidepressant sales do not equal low rates of depression.
In fact, I'd wager that areas with high antidepressant sales are "happier," whatever the fuck that means, because people's depression is actually well-managed.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Here's the full lists of factors considered:
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, accessed through bestplaces.net.
Maybe the folks in Jersey City off themselves in New York.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore the name Michael for a girl -- it's not precisely rare, since I never knew about Michael Learned, but have encountered it, well, as many times as I've encountered my name on other people.
However, I'm canonically a naming liability, and I make no apologies for it.
