New research tells about, One in every nine adults consistently had very poor or deteriorating mental health during the first six months of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods along with ethnic minority groups were severely affected, said the team based at The University of Manchester, King's College London, Cambridge, Swansea and City University.
The researchers also found that infection with Covid-19, local lockdown, and financial difficulties all predicted a subsequent deterioration in mental health.
However, two thirds of adults were in groups whose mental health was largely unaffected by the pandemic, finds the study published in The Lancet Psychiatry.
The health and social inequalities we already know about for women and for people in poverty relate to different burdens of stressful life events and different resources to deal with them.
