Depression and anxiety in Sandwell.

Sandwell local authority · 2 cards

Recorded depression and self-reported anxiety in Sandwell — two separate measures, kept separate.

Plain-English context

11.3% of patients aged 18 and over registered with GP practices in Sandwell had depression recorded in 2024/25. Separately, adults' weighted mean self-reported anxiety score was 2.82 out of 10 in the 2022/23 ONS survey. These measures come from different sources, years and populations and must not be combined. Recorded depression depends on diagnosis and coding; the anxiety score is a survey estimate, not a diagnosis.
