Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), affecting up to a third of British adults, is associated with low mood and sleepiness during winter months due to reduced sunlight.
Regions like Scotland and Wales show higher levels of SAD symptoms, but surprisingly, London has become one of the areas most affected despite more winter sunshine.
Intense anxiety levels in London, which are the highest at 64.4%, contribute significantly to the prevalence of SAD symptoms, challenging the assumption that more sunlight equals better mental health.
Research indicates that people in regions with fewer sunlight hours have a greater likelihood of experiencing seasonal affective disorder, impacting mental well-being across the UK.
