It has been reported that the number of people experiencing depression has increased since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Office for National Statistics found that the number of people experiencing symptoms associated with depression is one in five, compared to one in ten 12 months earlier.

This video from BBC News discusses the report and here is a link to the ONS website. These could be used within the Health unit (the nature and social distribution of mental illness).
