Almost two thirds of Scottish parents say they're suffering mentally because of the cost-of-living crisis
Almost two thirds of Scottish parents say they're suffering mentally because of the cost-of-living crisis. A new poll of parents and carers found that 64 per cent of those asked thought the rising prices of food, energy and bills had "negatively impacted" their mental health.
One Scots parent quizzed by the charity said both they and their child had been getting help with their mental health before the pandemic. They both suffered when lockdown put an end to face-to-face services. Another said that her daughter had tried to take her own life – and when informed, doctors suggested to her parents that they look up tips on a mental health website. The parent added: "Not everything can be overcome with sheer grit. Resilience has a limit.”
