Summary: The study found that suicidal ideation increased, while symptoms of anxiety and levels of defeat and entrapment decreased during the early stages of lockdown in the UK. Levels of depressive symptoms remained stable, positive well-being increased, and levels of loneliness did not significantly change. Women, young people, those from more socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and individuals with pre-existing mental health problems experienced worse mental health outcomes during the pandemic.
