PEOPLE in Edinburgh, Leicester and Glasgow are struggling the most with their mental health in Britain due to the\u00a0cost of living\u00a0crisis.<\/p>\n

A poll of 2,000 adults found 27 per cent have really taken a hit when it comes to their wellbeing, because of a lack of finances.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Newcastle,\u00a0London\u00a0and Leeds are other key cities where people are most affected.<\/p>\n

Cutting down on socialising, gym memberships and nutritious food to save money are reasons why so many feel disheartened and worried about their mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

And 40 per cent are dreading the winter as they are unsure if they will be able to afford energy bills to heat their home.<\/p>\n

The survey was commissioned by British Gas, which is working with Professor Green to raise awareness of the struggles so many are facing and highlight the free support available in the new phase of the British Gas Post Office Pop-Ups.<\/p>\n

The musician and mental health advocate said: \u201cAs a parent your first instinct is to protect and provide, and when you\u2019re doing\u00a0everything\u00a0you can, and that\u2019s still not enough, it has a profound impact on your mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cShame,\u00a0stigma\u00a0and fear can keep people from speaking up for help, but it\u2019s the best thing you can do \u2013 for yourself, your family and your community.<\/p>\n

\u201cStress and anxiety breed in uncertainty so I really encourage you to visit a British Gas Post Office Pop-Up or contact the British Gas Energy Trust to help you gain confidence in, and control of, your future.\u201c<\/p>\n
