Study links Covid, Brexit and Truss budget to lasting mental health decline
Original: Covid, Brexit and Liz Truss mini-budget led to lasting decline in mental health, study finds
Researchers 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, according to a study reported by The Guardian. The findings suggest successive national shocks since 2020 have left a durable mark on the population's mental health.
Why now: The new study connects several recent crises the British public lived through to measurable, lasting harm to mental health.
