A new set of figures, presented through a map, highlights parts of England where rates of reported depression are highest. The reporting indicates that in some worst-hit constituencies, about one in four adults are diagnosed with depression, with some neighbourhood areas showing even higher rates.
The Mirror and the Daily Express both focus on the same geographical presentation of depression prevalence, using mapping to show where the condition appears most common. While the outlets both describe the map as revealing the “scale” of the mental health crisis, neither provides substantially different figures in the summaries provided. The coverage emphasizes a concentration of higher depression rates in particular localities rather than uniform levels across the country.
