It is possible that the study did not adequately cover the full range of experiences. Therefore, this study does not claim to provide data on prevalence of mental illness during the pandemic: this question has been addressed through other representative studies. Further, as the study was internet based, participants without home access to internet were not represented. We also asked about symptoms of anxiety and depression over the past week rather than past fortnight as our reassessments were weekly. Whilst this change has precedence both in previous studies and clinical screening, it further underlines that the precise values on the scale cannot be taken as national averages for anxiety and depression during the pandemic. Additionally, we relied on participant self-report of diagnosed mental illness but were unable to confirm diagnoses, nor identify specifically the type of problem participants had previously been diagnosed with. As there was substantial overlap between participants reporting diagnoses of depression and diagnoses of anxiety, we also did not look at the unique contribution of each condition to trajectories of symptoms across lockdown, nor look at how specific symptoms (such as thoughts of death) might have been affected. As we asked about current diagnoses, we do not know how trajectories were affected by mental illness, specific psychological symptoms or sub-clinical symptomatology in the weeks or months preceding lockdow...
