The rising cost of living has resulted in an increase demand for mental health support.
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACAP) estimate 61% of therapists report a spike in the anxiety levels of their clients.
The Mental Health Foundation says 73% of UK adults cannot manage their finances and 59% say that the cost-of-living crisis has had a negative impact on their mental health, leaving them feeling anxious, depressed and with a sense of hopelessness.
The rising cost of essentials such as energy, food and housing brings with it rising levels of worry, stress, and anxiety.
The rise in the severity of those already suffering mentally, is astonishing. Thousands of new mental health sufferers are presenting across the nation every day.
The UK Independence Party want to offer practical solutions that will make an immediate difference to the pockets of the British Working Classes. We would scrap the TV Licence Fee, abolish prescription charges, and abandon net zero policies.
It's time for change, it's time for the UK Independence Party to be given a chance.
