The depression capitals of England are revealed today in the interactive map of MailOnline of every neighborhood in the country.
According to the figures from the House of Commons Library) at the top of the table of 34,000 districts will be a suburb of stockport in Greater Manchester.
Almost one in three general practitioners patients in that specific enclave of Brinnington, near the M60, has been diagnosed with depression.
On the other side of the scale, it is assumed that only 3.5 percent of people who live in a prosperous zone of Knightsbridge suffer from the mental illness.
Edwardian houses from five floors that sell for the north of £ 1.5 million are commonplace in that area, just a ten -minute walk from Harrods.
Our map, with which you are in Zoomde in street level, plot the estimates of depression prevalence for all 34,000 lower superout pit areas (LSOA) in England – small bags of the country consisting of around 1,000 and 3,000 people.

Each LSOA is colored by how many general practitioner patients older than 18 years have been diagnosed with depression. The darker the red shade, the higher the speed of patients.
The figure for the whole of England was around 13 percent, slightly higher than official estimates.
Depression is ‘more than just being unhappy or tired of a few days’ and is ‘not something you can break out’, the advice page of the NHS statements.
Of the ten LSOAs with the highest depression, eight were in the north of England, especially in stockport and the Wirral.
The other two were in the disadvantaged Budshead community of Plymouth, where the locals rose an increase in antisocial behavior of children who ‘have nothing to do’.
Eight out of ten places with the lowest rates of depression were in the local government of Westminster.
Dr. Dalia Tsimpida, Gerontology teacher at the University of Southampton, has investigated what some neighborhoods make hotspots in mental health care, while others remain relatively protected.
She said: ‘Our research reveals a complex web of environmental and socio-economic factors that contribute to higher depression in certain areas.
“Deprivation is an important engine, good for a maximum of 39 percent of the registered depression levels in England, although this varies dramatically per location.”

Her research has identified a factor that has been overlooked earlier: noise pollution.
Areas with transport sounds of average of 24 hours a day more than 55 decibels that show much stronger connections between lack of health, handicap and depression.
“Environmental stressors play a crucial but undervalued role,” she said.
“Although transport noise does not immediately cause depression, it considerably strengthens the impact of other risk factors.”
Dr. Tsimpida added: ‘Living in a depression hotspot exposes people to what’ infection effects’ can be – both social and the environment.
“We have noticed that challenges in the field of mental health can be spread by communities such as social isolation, reduced community resources, damage to the environment and standardized hopelessness.”
Studies suggest that depression rates can be linked to other factors, such as a low income or living alone, according to the Adult psychiatric morbidity examination.
The survey, conducted for the NHS, also showed a connection between poor physical health and mental knock-on effects.
Dr. Tsimpida added: ‘Areas with lower depression – especially in London and the Southeast – benefit from multiple protective factors that work together.
“These include better economic opportunities, higher quality housing, more green spaces, lower environmental stressors and stronger social infrastructure.”

A report from the Lower House estimated that one In six adults, a ‘common psychological disorder’ experienced such as depression Or fear in the last week.
But when it comes to treatment, there is a zip code lottery such as waiting times for NHS Talking Therapies (TTAD).
Patients in Gloucestershire can be seen in just four days, while others in Southport and Formby have to wait at least 10 weeks.
Two -thirds of people experience improvement after TTAD, but this varies in different parts of England and between social groups.
The figures of health care show a record of 8.7 million people in England, about 15 percent of the total population, are now in antidepressants, which can also be given to combat OCD, anxiety and PTSD.
Some experts have been worried about the ‘one size fits all’ approach to patients suffering from depression.
The concerns are mainly focused on the use of a type of selective serotonin re -admission inhibitors (SSRIs) and the libido crushing side effects.
Some users have reported to be transformed into ‘sexless’ zombies, even years after they stopped taking the mind -changing pills.
The absorption of the pills has risen in recent years, despite the growth of unrest among experts about the effectiveness of drugs in the treatment of depression.
Many patients, however, have work that they work.
Psychiatrists insist on patients who are concerned about side effects, or possible consequences, of antidepressants to talk to their medical professional about their options.
Earlier this year, one of the most prominent GPs of the UK warned that thousands of British confuse the ‘normal stress of life’ with psychological problems – and wrongly diagnose themselves with psychiatric disorders.
Dame Clare Gerada, former president of the Royal College of General Practitioners, told MailOnline in January that Great -Britain has a ‘problem’ with people ‘looking for labels to explain their worries’.
Professor Gerada’s concern reflects that of former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair’s, who has warned about the over-medicalization of the ‘ups and downs of life’.
Sir Tony, who served as Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, said that there was the danger to tell too many people who experienced the normal challenges of life that they undergo a mental health status.

Dr. Tsimpida claims that the current approaches for tackling depression can be fundamentally inadequate because they focus on the treatment of individuals instead of transforming places.
She said: ‘We need location -based interventions, not just individual treatments.
“Our findings show that traditional randomized controlled investigations can miss crucial spatial influences on the results of mental health.”
Based on her research results, she suggests various priority actions, including strategies for sound limit, persistent investments in hotspots and integrated approaches to treat all raw causes at the same time.
She added: ‘The most important insight from our research is that treating depression effectively requires place, not just to treat people.
Jen Dykxhornornorn, a researcher at the Division of Psychiatry Neighborhood from University College London, believes that regeneration programs can be useful.
She said: “There are indications that initiatives such as planting trees, removing litter and improving the physical quality of the neighborhoods can reduce.”
The research from MailOnline into the Depression Hotspots of the country was calculated from the library data of House of Commons composed of GP practice registers in England as published by NHS Digital.
Some clear variation between areas can be explained by differences in how GPS works and measures, instead of real differences in the prevalence of illness and health problems.
The most current figures of the HOC library use the LSOA boundaries of 2011 that were updated in 2021.
