Survey: Surviving or Thriving? The state of the UK's mental health

This survey commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation aimed to understand the prevalence of self-reported mental health problems, levels of positive and negative mental health in the population, and the actions people take to deal with the stressors in their lives.

Key findings:

• Only 13% of people report living with high levels of good mental health.
• Nearly two-thirds of people say they have experienced a mental health problem. This rises to seven in every 10 women, young adults aged 18 to 34 and people living alone.
• Around two-thirds of those in paid employment report that they have experienced a mental health problem (61% of people in full-time employment).
• 13% of those in paid employment report current experience of negative mental health.
