In this week’s spotlight issue, Mason Boycott-Owen speaks to Andy Bell, the Chief Executive of the Centre for Mental Health about the prominence that mental health is starting to have in people’s lives and what politicians can do to address the issues.

“We know that if anything, there is good evidence that the nation's mental health is getting worse,” says Andy Bell. “That's been a case of something that we've seen quite gradually over time, but more sharply during the pandemic and in the cost of living crisis.

“We know that if you have anxiety or depression, and you're diagnosed with that by a GP, that can be a really serious illness. It can have a major effect on your life, on your relationships, on your chances in school and work. It can have a big effect on your physical health.
