Lockdown causes spike in Wiltshire anxiety support requests

Madeline Webb from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, has struggled with anxiety since her teens.

She usually gets help from a local support group run by the charity Mind, but there are no meet-up sessions at the moment.

The national charity Anxiety UK reported a 365% increase in calls since the lockdown.
