  "summary": "A recent nationwide survey by Super Poll reveals that the rising cost of living, online scams, and mounting debt are the biggest sources of stress and anxiety among Thai people, while family and good relationships remain their greatest source of happiness and emotional support. The survey, which covered 1,147 respondents from various occupations nationwide, found that the average stress score was 6.73 out of 10, with an anxiety score of 6.14 and a life satisfaction score of 6.04. These scores measured different aspects of people's feelings and should not be combined to calculate an overall happiness score or treated as a mental health diagnosis. The findings highlight key areas for policymakers to address, including financial security, personal safety, and reliable support networks.",
