Commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation, NatCen conducted a survey amongst its panel members in England, Scotland and Wales. This aimed to understand the prevalence of self-reported mental health problems, levels of positive and negative mental health in the population, and the actions people take to deal with stressors. Key findings include:
- Only 13% of people report living with high levels of good mental health
- More than 4 in 10 people say they have experienced depression
- Nearly 3 in 4 people living in the lowest household income bracket report having experienced a mental health problem, compared to 6 in 10 of the highest household income bracket
- Nearly two thirds of people say they have experienced a mental health problem, rising to 7 in every 10 women, young adults aged 18-34 and people living alone.
