Glasgow is most stressed out city in Scotland during covid pandemic

Glasgow is the most stressed city in Scotland, according to new research.

Retailer Charles Tyrwhitt carried out the study in collaboration with Prince's Trust UK to assess the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on people's mental health across the country.

Using Google Search Data from the last twelve months, the company totalled up the number of times searched questions such as "how to reduce stress", "signs of burnout" and "stress management" in order to reach their findings.

They concluded that Glasgow is the most stressed city in Scotland, despite Edinburgh having the biggest growth in stress-related searches year-on-year.

Meanwhile, Belfast was named the most stressed city in the UK.

It comes as concerns of a growing mental health crisis have been raised amid the ongoing pandemic. With parents and teachers struggling with the demands of homeschooling for much of the past year, and more and more people speaking out about the importance of seeking help if you are struggling, significant focus has been placed on mental health in the past year.
