A new survey out today on World Mental Health Day has revealed that whilst the credit crunch has understandably made many people a little more depressed and anxious, just 8% had become a lot more depressed and anxious.
The YouGov survey commissioned by mental healthcare specialists Affinity found that overall 51% of people surveyed said that they were in fact unaffected by the current financial circumstances, and a further 37% had been a little more anxious or depressed. There were some variations in responses in that greater levels of effect were reported in those aged between 45-54 (41% a little more anxious and depressed, 9% a lot more anxious and depressed). Also the most affected regions have been Yorkshire and the Humber (46%), West Midlands and East of England (all with 47%) whilst the North East is the least, with 37%.
