More people are suffering from mental health issues than ever before. The pressure of modern life, the impact of social media and the after effects of lockdowns are major contributors. Furthermore, there are huge variations across regions, largely linked to deprivation.
What can be done?
Charities are playing an essential role in plugging the huge gaps in state support.
Is there a need for funding?
Less than 10% of the NHS budget is spent on mental health. Charitable spending represents an even smaller sum, so the need for funding is acute.
