Today @ONS we release new data on #Coronavirus and #Depression in Adults.
As part of the weekly Opinions Survey this June, we were able to resurvey 3,500 people who had been surveyed on mental health and depression pre-pandemic.
The results are stark - a short thread
First - we find almost one in five adults (19.2%) experienced some form of moderate to severe depression during the Pandemic (2 weeks in June)
This is almost double the 9.7% from before Covid19
