# DE Mental Health Indicators
|

|
||
|
||
## 🎯 BEST ESTIMATE
|
||
|
||
| Metric | Value | Confidence | Last Updated |
|
||
|--------|-------|------------|--------------|
|
||
| **Work disengagement (Gallup 2023)** | **85% not/actively disengaged** | 90% | 2023 |
|
||
| **Engaged at work (Gallup 2023)** | **15%** | 90% | 2023 |
|
||
| **Suicides 2022** | **10,119** | 99% | 2022 |
|
||
|
||
**One-liner:** Only 15% of Germans engaged at work; 10,119 suicides in 2022.
|
||
|
||
**Caveat:** Gallup measures work engagement, not general meaning; Eurostat EHIS surveys are conducted only every 5+ years.

## Quick Context
|
||
|
||
Germany's Gallup Engagement Index shows chronic disengagement: 15% actively engaged, 70% going through the motions, 15% actively disengaged. Mental illness has risen from rank 4 to rank 1–2 of all sick-day causes since 2010 (DAK/TK annual reports). Suicide counts (Destatis) provide the hard endpoint; engagement and sick-day data are the upstream signals.

## Note on DAK/TK AU-Tage (Sick Days) Data
|
||
|
||
The most impactful metric — **AU-Tage wegen psychischer Erkrankungen** (sick days due to mental illness) — is published annually by health insurance funds (DAK, TK, AOK, Barmer) but has **no public API**. Data is in annual Gesundheitsreport PDFs:
|
||
- DAK: https://www.dak.de/dak/gesundheitsreport/
|
||
- TK: https://www.tk.de/presse/themen/praevention-und-gesundheit/gesundheitsstudien/gesundheitsreport/
|
||
|
||
Key finding (from published reports): Mental illness rose from rank 4 to rank 1-2 of all sick days since 2010.
