Initially, I was intending to find out the different mental disorder rates in the different countries, and combine that with the distribution in the data.

We see that the distribution is broadly similar across the countries among which EA has a presence. Most importantly, it doesn't surpass ~25% in any country, whereas among survey respondents: We see that the distribution is broadly similar across the countries among which EA has a presence.

The bottomline seems to be that EA is correlated with better mental health, across almost all measures. However, the error bars are humongous, and no significance thresholds are reached. Note that this is only valid for people who are already involved enough with EA to answer this survey. Curiously, I was kind of expecting the opposite result. It would just have been so much more interesting / contrarian. The bottomline seems to be that EA is correlated with better mental health, across almost all measures.
