The Attitudes to Mental Illness research is designed to give a comprehensive and detailed account of mental health stigma in England, and allow us to track it over time. At Mind, we’ll use the findings to inform our campaigns, advice and strategy, and to reignite the conversation about stigma in England.

Its data shows that rates of depression were higher among those who found it hard to afford housing costs or energy bills, and higher among renters than homeowners.

This means that neither the Government nor NHS England determines exactly how much funding goes to mental health services in local areas. Spending commitments from the NHS long-term plana...
