The average adult has seen their stress and anxiety levels rise by almost 50% in recent weeks - with those aged over 60 seeing the biggest increase.
A study of 2,000 adults found an average of 59 minutes a day was spent feeling under pressure or worried about things such as work, finances or health - pre-lockdown.
But this has now risen to an hour and 28 minutes per day since the pandemic took hold as fears about money, job security, the economy and health grow.
But the study, by wellbeing brand Healthspan, found that while 20-somethings now feel anxious for an hour and 45 minutes each day - an increase of 23 minutes - the over 60s have seen this figure almost double.
