Subject Prospects for the United Kingdom. Significance The COVID-19 lockdown led to a fall in UK GDP of about 25% between February and April. The gradual lifting of restrictions means that activity will begin to recover, probably quite strongly, in May and June. However, the speed and the extent of the recovery will depend on a number of factors: the course of the pandemic, the economic policy response in the next phase and the direction of consumer and business confidence.

Antidepressant Use

An unstructured observation concerning low rates of observed psychological disturbance was explored by estimating rates of suicide, and psychotropic drug use. Recorded suicide, overdose, and ‘minor’ tranquilliser and antidepressant use were strikingly low on Tobago, when compared with the United Kingdom. Tobagonians were unlikely to medicalise distress by presenting with overt psychological symptoms. Most local doctors felt that patients preferred spiritual support, e.g. from charismatic religious groups and traditional healers (some using obeah). A rich network of social and recreational groups may also give important support, as may ‘liming’ (a local conversational pastime). Tabanka (a local culture specific syndrome) may also be a non-medical outlet.
