Study links Covid, Brexit and Truss budget to lasting UK mental health decline
Original: Covid, Brexit and Liz Truss mini-budget led to lasting decline in mental health, study finds
Researchers have found that five major events — the Covid pandemic, Brexit, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis and Liz Truss's mini-budget — caused serious and lasting damage to mental wellbeing across the UK. The study, reported by The Guardian, concludes the shocks produced a sustained national decline in mental health rather than temporary dips, prompting debate about how successive crises have compounded pressure on the population.
Why now: A new study is drawing attention by tying years of political and economic turmoil to measurable, lasting harm to the UK's mental health.
