The “Sunday Scaries” regularly affect more than two-thirds of Britons who report work stresses, lack of sleep and looming to-do lists as the primary causes of anxiety before the start of the working week.
The campaign is backed by a number of celebrities including BBC Radio 1 host Vick Hope, television personality Scarlett Moffatt and pop star Tom Grennan, along with leading psychologist Kimberley Wilson., which represents health bosses, said it welcomed the initiative but ministers needed to go “much further” if they genuinely wanted to improve the nation’s mental health.
The “Sunday Scaries” are shown to peak just after 5pm on Sunday as thoughts turn to the week ahead with Google searches around sadness spiking, as many people look for help.The new research, commissioned by OHID, found that overall 67% of Britons frequently experience anxiety on a Sunday.
