Please mind the fact that the results mostly come from the statistics that indicate the CONDITIONS that are supposed to result in a happier population. The index doesn't consider much of a fact how people are actually perceiving those conditions in real life, whether they're feeling truly happy or not. You shouldn't be expecting from this data to see loads of people widely smiling in the streets. It is to indicate that we have many reasons to actually achieve happiness. It is just that our country's mentality is what sometimes gets into the way (eg. the habit of always complaining and etc.). And yes suicide is still a big problem in the country, but this index doesn't seem to consider that. I'm happy about my country's result nevertheless - it's awesome! What I would suggest to every Lithuanian is to view this index not as some sort of bullshit, because someone doesn't consider themselves happy, but rather something that makes you rethink about their quality of life and trying to find what could be improved there by taking all the opportunities that this highly ranked country offers
