The mind is the set of faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, intelligence, judgement, language and memory, as well as noncognitive aspects such as emotion and instinct.• Almost one in three (30 per cent) BAME people* said problems with housing made their mental health worse during the pandemic, compared to almost one in four (23 per cent) white people.
Employment worries have negatively affected the mental health of 61 per cent of BAME people, compared to 51 per cent of white people
Concerns about finances worsened the mental health of 52 per cent of people who identified as BAME, compared to 45 per cent of those who identified as white.
Other issues saw a similar pattern, including getting support for a physical health problem (39 per cent vs 29 per cent) and being a carer (30 per cent vs 23 per cent).
Overall mental health and the impact of the pandemic on wellbeing were around the same for all groups – with around three in five (60 per cent) adults saying their mental health has got worse during lockdown – but the charity says the findings raise concerns that the fall-out of the pandemic will disproportionately affect some communities far into the future.
The immediate impact of isolation, fears about the virus itself and inadequate access to NHS mental health services will, for many, ease as lockdown is lifted and life starts to return to normal. However, problems with housing, employment and finances will likely last for much longer and become worse as the emergency government measures introduced to protect people from evictions, unemployment and redundancy – including furlough, better Statutory Sick Pay and Universal Credit – come to an end.
