They have now dropped to 3.2 out of ten in 2021/22. In the whole of the UK, 22.5 percent reported high levels of anxiety, while 8.5 percent of people reported low levels of happiness.
According to the ONS: "There were no statistically significant changes in average ratings of feeling that the things done in life are worthwhile for Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
"Average ratings for anxiety decreased (improved) across all four countries compared with the previous year. England had the largest increase in average life satisfaction ratings between the year ending March 2021 and year ending March 2022."
Edinburgh had a higher life satisfaction level than Glasgow did, as well as happier people in their city too. This was only 0.4 of a difference for satisfaction in life, and 0.4 as well for happiness levels.
