Decode Your Stress: Find Clarity, Fast.

Why Are So Many Trapped in Survival Mode? The Data Doesn't Lie.

The persistent stress, anxiety, and mental fog you feel aren't just 'in your head.' They're symptoms of a widespread phenomenon—a collective drift into a 'survival mode' driven by modern comforts and overlooked biological truths. Here's what the latest data reveals about the challenges facing individuals in the UK.

Key UK-Based Evidence:

• Escalating Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression, particularly among young people:

  • Problem: Significant and rising numbers of people, especially younger demographics, are experiencing common mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
  • Evidence: "1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England." (Mind). "The incidence of depression in adults doubled in the eight years between 2014 and 2022 – going from just 7.3 per cent to more than 13.3 per cent in 2022 – and diagnoses have continued to rise steadily since." (Institute for Global Change). Among 16-24-year-olds, the increase in anxiety, depression, and stress was a staggering 168% between 2000 and 2019. (Institute for Global Change).

• Pervasive Burnout and Chronic Stress in the Workforce:

  • Problem: High levels of pressure and stress are widespread in the UK workforce, leading to burnout and impacting daily life and productivity.
  • Evidence: "91% of UK adults reported experiencing high or extreme levels of pressure or stress in the past year." "Almost 3 in 10 (28%) people aged 18–24 had to take time off work due to health challenges while waiting for NHS treatment." (Mental Health UK, Burnout Report 2025). Two-thirds of workers reported stress disrupting their sleep, and nearly half noted its impact on their diet and self-confidence. (Mental Health UK).

• Concerning Rise in Suicidal Thoughts and Self-Harm, especially among Youth:

  • Problem: There has been a worrying increase in suicidal ideation and self-harm, with young people disproportionately affected.
  • Evidence: "1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts" over their lifetime in the UK, and "1 in 14 people self-harm." (Mind). There have been "concerning increases among children and young people over recent years" in suicide rates, with suicide being the second leading cause of death for individuals aged 10–24. (ONS, The Health Foundation).

• Negative Impact of the Digital Age and Social Media on Youth Mental Health:

  • Problem: Constant digital connectivity and social media use contribute to negative mental health outcomes, particularly among young women and older teenagers.
  • Evidence: "17% of respondents from the Digital Youth Index report that their use of the internet and digital devices has a negative impact on their mental health," equating to around 2.5 million young people (8-25) across the UK. Young women are "twice as likely to report a negative impact on their mental health" from digital use compared to young men (23% vs 11%). (Digital Youth Index). 1 in 8 children aged 11 to 16 who used social media reported being bullied online. (NHS Digital).

• Struggling Work-Life Balance and Employee Disengagement:

  • Problem: Many UK employees struggle to disconnect from work, leading to poor work-life balance, disengagement, and impacts on mental health.
  • Evidence: "Only 10% of British employees feel actively engaged at work — one of the lowest levels in Europe." This costs UK businesses an estimated £257 billion annually. (Gallup, MyPerfectResume Report). "4 in 10 people admit to neglecting their mental health because of work." Less than half (42%) of UK workers can switch off from work when needed, dropping to 33% for 18-24-year-olds. (StandOut CV).

• Rising Mental Health Issues: "High-income regions, including the U.S., saw a significant increase in mental health conditions, with major depressive disorder rising by 27.1% and anxiety disorders by 25.2% in 2020 alone." (Source: PubMed Central)

• Digital Age Overwhelm: "Constant connectivity and information overload are leading to increased stress, anxiety, and feelings of social isolation for many individuals in the digital age." (Source: ResearchGate)
