In a large (n=10918), national, longitudinal probability-based sample of UK adults the prevalence of clinically significant psychological distress rose from prepandemic levels of 20.8% in 2019 to 29.5% in April 2020 and then declined significantly to prepandemic levels by September (20.8%). Longitudinal analyses showed that all demographic groups examined (age, sex, race/ethnicity, income) experienced increases in distress after the onset of the pandemic followed by significant decreases. By September 2020 distress levels were indistinguishable from prepandemic levels for all groups. This recovery may reflect the influence of the easing of restrictions and psychological adaptation to the demands of the pandemic.
在一项针对英国成年人的大型（n=10918）、全国性、基于概率的纵向样本中，临床显著心理困扰的患病率从 2019 年大流行前的 20.8%上升到 2020 年 4 月的 29.5%，然后在 9 月（20.8%）显著下降到大流行前的水平。纵向分析显示，所有被研究的人口统计学群体（年龄、性别、种族/族裔、收入）在大流行开始后都经历了困扰的增加，随后显著减少。到 2020 年 9 月，所有群体的困扰水平都与大流行前水平无异。这种恢复可能反映了限制放宽和对大流行需求的心理适应的影响。
