Poll: more than a quarter of Czechs struggle with mental health

More than a quarter of Czechs do not feel mentally healthy, marking a decline from 23 percent last year, according to a survey conducted by IPSOS for the insurance company BNP Paribas Cardiff. Young adults aged 18 to 24 are particularly affected, with more than half struggling to manage stress and 37 percent reporting poor mental health.

The BNP Paribas Cardiff Security Index measures how secure Czechs feel in four basic areas: home, finances, work, and health. It also takes into account potential risks and their coverage in each of these areas. Compared to last year, the index rose by one point to 44 out of 100.
