Study links Covid, Brexit and Truss budget to lasting decline in UK mental health
Original: Covid, Brexit and Liz Truss mini-budget led to lasting decline in mental health, study finds
A new study has found that five major events — the Covid-19 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. Researchers say the decline has persisted rather than rebounded, prompting discussion about the cumulative psychological toll of years of political and economic upheaval in Britain.
Why now: Fresh research quantifies the cumulative mental health damage from several years of national crises, resonating with widespread public experience.
